Kaizer Chiefs interim coach Arthur Zwane says goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune is desperate for game time but must wait his turn.
Khune, 34, who has been with Amakhosi for almost two decades and is endeared by the club’s faithful, has struggled for game time this season.
There was hope that the takeover of Zwane and Dillon Sheppard might lead to Khune's long awaited comeback between the goalposts but that hasn’t been the case. “Khune is a professional and I like him because he is focused. But like any other player, there’s no player who wouldn’t like to play every game. He really wants to play and he is pushing himself at training,” Zwane said.
“He is always part and parcel of the team. Whether he is playing or not playing he is a positive person and he is looking forward to his turn, should that time come. I think soon he will be ready to compete because he is a true professional. He is a 24-hour professional player,” Zwane said.
