Chiefs need a win against Highlands to restore their top four ambitions. Owen Da Gama’s compact‚ physical Park are pushing for a place in the top eight.
Middendorp said he believes the 32-year-old Nigeria international has the experience to be able to bounce back when sixth-placed Amakhosi meet ninth-positioned Highlands Park at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Saturday .
The coach admitted‚ though‚ that there is some concern for Chiefs after the keeper they have brought in to solidify a department that has been shaky since the injury to No 1 Itumeleng Khune made a costly mistake in just his second game. Akpeyi was signed from Chippa United on the last day of the transfer window on January 31‚ after Virgil Vries had clearly struggled deputising for injured Khune‚ with notable howlers in defeats against Mamelodi Sundowns and Cape Town City.
