Kaizer Chiefs now have a glimmer of hope with some of their players returning to full fitness after having faced a challenging start to the season due to a series of unfortunate injuries.
However, there is good news on the horizon, as three key players are set to return to contention just in time for their upcoming match against Royal AM on September 16th.
This development is expected to provide a much-needed boost for the club, which has been grappling with several injury setbacks so far.

The trio of Keegan Dolly, Edmilson Dove, and Bontle Molefe is looking promising as they near a return to playing form for the Gauteng side.
