Having missed eight of Kaizer Chiefs' last matches stretching from the end of last season, the Siya crew has been given an update on Keagan Dolly's return to fitness hopes.

Dolly suffered a knee injury against Sekhukhune United back in April.
At the time, it wasn't thought to be a serious injury despite Dolly hobbling off and leaving the field in tears. It was later discovered that the 30-year-old had suffered an anterior cruciate ligament tear, which on average, takes six to nine months to recover from a torn ACL.
Two weeks ago, Chiefs head coach Molefi Ntseki revealed that Dolly is the club's only casualty on the treatment table, whilst other players were merely nursing niggles.
"We are thankful that we managed to go through our pre-season without major injuries. And those who got injured last year, we had time to work on them from a medical point of view. We are happy to see all of them being available, except for Keagan Dolly, who is still nursing an ACL injury," he told the club's media department.
Now, four months on and Siya sources have indicated that the Chiefs linchpin is making steady progress in his recovery and could feature sooner than initially anticipated.
"Thankfully for Keagan, he had surgery very soon after it happened. He is also a top professional so he has been putting in the work to ensure that he gets back to fitness as soon as possible," the source said.
