It may have taken an injury to one of the club's regulars for it to happen - but Zitha Kwinika has found himself back in the reckoning at Kaizer Chiefs after a period on the sidelines.

Last season, upon his Chiefs homecoming, Kwinika was one of the first names on the teamsheet under then head coach Arthur Zwane.
He made an impressive 28 appearances in all competitions but towards the end of the season his form dwindled, which saw him lose his place in the starting XI, and that saw him miss six of the team's last seven games.
That trend continued into the start of Ntseki's tenure, only for an injury to Frosler to see the former Stellenbosch FC man make a return to the squad, albeit in an adjusted right-back role.
"I'm in good shape and happy to be getting minutes, which is boosting me in terms of confidence, fitness and readiness. I have actually played the majority of my PSL games at right back, probably for two seasons, so I am familiar with that position but I think it's good to be adaptable and play a few positions, which is an advantage to being able to help the team when required," he told the club's official website.
Kwinika is likely to continue at right-back for Chiefs when they take on SuperSport United on Wednesday, and is geared up for a tough physical battle against Matsatsantsa.
"Playing against SuperSport United is a battle. They are often not pretty games. You can see their form so we know it's going to be difficult. They are experienced and well organised, so we are preparing for that. As a team, we are gaining momentum and are looking to keep it going in the right direction," he said.
