Kaizer Chiefs duo return to the training grounds!

Kaizer Chiefs duo of Khanyisa Mayo and Bradley Cross are back at the training grounds after missing the opening match of the season.

KHANYISA MAYO AND BRADLEY CROSS RETURN FOR AIZER CHIEFS

Mayo missed the pre-season through injury, and he recently underwent a hernia operation before signing a permanent deal with Chiefs.

He was on loan from Algerian giants CR Belouizdad but Amakhosi had an option to make his stay permanent which they took.

Now, Mayo is ready to compete again, and could be in line to make his first appearance of the season against Golden Arrows on Sunday.

The same can be said about Cross who is back after suffering a leg injury when Chiefs faced Scottland FC in the Toyota Cup on 26 July.

His injury was initially thought to be serious but the left-footed defender has made huge progress, and he’s back on the training pitch.

HUGE AMAKHOSI BOOST FOR CAF CONFEDERATION CUP

The return of the two players is undoubtedly a major boost for Chiefs as they will need their experience in the CAF Confederation Cup.

Mayo has continental experience having previously featured in both the CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup.

Cross had a taste of continental football last season when Chiefs played in the same competition and reached the group stage.

As The South African reported earlier, the Glamour Boys will face in the winner between Zambian outfit Red Arrows and Madagascar’s FC Rouge in the second preliminary round in October.
