Johannesburg - Kaizer Chiefs have been handed a big
boost ahead of their MTN8 quarter-final against Mpumalanga Black Aces on
Sunday with the news Kingston Nkhatha's injury is not as bad as first
feared.
According to the Football411 website, the Zimbabwe international suffered a blow to his leg during
Saturday's Carling Black Label Cup defeat to Orlando Pirates, with
initial reports claiming he could be facing several weeks on the
sidelines.
"Kingston got a knock to the side of his leg. It was nothing much, but a ‘dead’ leg. He should recover fairly quickly. He should be available for the Sunday encounter against MP Black Aces in the MTN8 quarter-final," read a statement on Chiefs' official website.
Another fitness boost for the Glamour Boys is the news Siphiwe Tshabalala's recovery is coming along well, although this weekend's last-eight tie comes too soon for the Bafana Bafana international.
"‘Shabba’ is improving nicely after he injured his knee in a
friendly game against Chippa United in the previous week," the statement
continued.
