Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly plotting to re-sign Puso Dithejane from TS Galaxy. Additionally, new reports say Mamelodi Sundowns and Germany’s Augsburg are interested.

KAIZER CHIEFS, MAMELODI SUNDOWNS AND AUGSBURG TARGET PUSO DITHEJANE

Remember when Kaizer Chiefs transferred Puso Dithejane to TS Galaxy following the player’s refusal to serve as a ball boy? Things are very different right now. The 20-year-old is not even a right-back anymore but an attacking midfielder.

According to Soccer Laduma, the three clubs are tracking the attacking midfielder as he continues to shine under coach Sead Ramovic at TS Galaxy.

Since leaving Kaizer Chiefs 11 months ago, the attacker from Christiana, Free State, has played 22 games, including a goal and two assists in the number 10 role. But don’t let these statistics fool you. Dithejane has been very good on the eye in TS Galaxy’s front line.

UPDATES ON INJURIES

In other news, Kaizer Chiefs are moving closer to welcoming back a trio of injured players.

Speaking to the media before Saturday’s Carling Knockout quarterfinals battle against Mamelodi Sundowns, coach Nabi said Amakhosi have to be careful with rushing George Matlou, Mduduzi Mdantsane and Tebogo Potsane.

“It’s true they’ve been injured for quite some time. All three are done with rehabilitation and are currently training with the group,” Nabi said via FARPost.

“They’ve joined the group and are training. But we need to be very careful how we integrate them into official matches.

“For example, George has been out for over a year; we need to give him time to train. We need to give them time to participate in friendly games and bring back connection with the teammates before we can think of incorporating them in official matches,” concluded the Kaizer Chiefs mentor.
