21-year-old Kaizer Chiefs winger Langelihle Phili has been sidelined since injuring his ankle in training after the 1-1 draw against Mamelodi Sundowns on 15 August. Phili has missed eight matches across all competitions, but his return is on the horizon.

Speaking to the media following Chiefs’ 2-1 win over Siwelele, Fernando Da Cruz said that Phili has rejoined the squad for full training and his return is imminent.

“[Langelihle] Phili restarted this week [last week] with the squad and has been taking part in football sessions on the field,” Da Cruz told journalists in Polokwane. “So, he is close to restarting to play in competitions.

“Maybe he will be ready for the semi-final; we don’t know, but we’ll work a lot with him during this FIFA [international] break for [November].

It’s been a good week for the club. Chiefs wrapped up the signing of 27-year-old former Sekhukhune winger Elias Mokwana. Meanwhile, Khanyisa Mayo’s return from injury runs in parallel to Phili’s, so both could return to the fold against Sundowns.
