The latest development will come as encouraging news to the Amakhosi faithful, who are eagerly awaiting the showdown between the two biggest rivals in South African football.

The Soweto Derby remains one of the most significant occasions on the South African football calendar, attracting enormous attention from supporters of both clubs. Matches between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates are traditionally filled with excitement, pressure and high expectations, making the availability of key players particularly important.

His fitness and progress during the remaining preparations will be important in determining whether he can be considered for selection.

For Kaizer Chiefs, the focus will be on ensuring that the squad is physically and mentally prepared for the challenge ahead. The technical team will also need to carefully assess the condition of returning players before making decisions about the starting lineup.

Meanwhile, Orlando Pirates will also be looking to approach the derby with confidence as both sides prepare for another fiercely contested meeting.

With anticipation continuing to build, Chiefs supporters will be watching Phili’s progress closely. His return could prove useful as Amakhosi prepare for one of the biggest fixtures of their season.
