Cape Town - Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Brilliant Khuzwayo is recovering well after undergoing surgery to his ankle, the club confirmed.

The surgery went according to plan and he will be out of action for at least eight weeks.
“Lots of people see this as a tragedy,” comments an upbeat Khuzwayo on the club's official website.
“However, for me it is another experience that I have to go through. I look at it in two ways - I can be disappointed but I choose to look forward to return to action much stronger.”
