Itumeleng Khune is back from suspension


By Neo Poho

Ahead of the upcoming Soweto Derby, Kaizer Chiefs have announced that goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune has rejoined the team following his separation from his teammates in order to fulfill certain conditions required of him before he could be allowed back into the team.

Khune was suspended early in December 2023 to afford him an opportunity to complete a corrective programme designed for him to meet certain expectations for a professional athlete.

Upon completion of the programme, a report from an independent body of professionals was received and shared with the technical team to demonstrate that he had done all that was required.

Just four months before his contract with the club expires, Khune is expected to rejoin the squad this week after serving a three-month suspension.

During his three month absence, Khune says he fully participated in the programmes set out for him and believes they assisted with his personal growth and development as a professional athlete as well as an individual.

While the former Bafana Bafana number 1 goalkeeper trained on his own to stay fit, he also stated that he is looking forward to working hard at training and sharing his knowledge with his teammates.
