There seems to be hope for a Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper despite having appeared to be down in the pecking order, the Siya crew has learnt.
In recent matches, Chiefs goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari has been out of coach Nasreddine Nabi's starting line-ups as Chiefs have been trying different combinations.

Following a good start with Amakhosi as he was starting matches earlier in the season after he joined the club from TS Galaxy, Ntwari suffered an injury while on national team duty with Rwanda in November.
While indications had been that the 25-year-old was the number one choice for Nabi earlier in the campaign, he has struggled to reclaim his place since recovering from injury.
Bruce Bvuma has been playing ahead of him and his performances have been impressive.
However, sources close to the Soweto giants have given hope about Ntwari's situation that all is not lost in his push for a place in the team.
"He (Ntwari) is working hard to win his place back in the starting line-up. The most important thing about him is that he is a positive guy who is willing to always learn. With that attitude, he will go far, and people shouldn't rule him out yet, and he's got the support of everyone at the club," said the source.
Meanwhile, Bvuma is likely to retain his place as Chiefs' number one for Saturday's big clash against Orlando Pirates based on current form.

In the previous match on Sunday against third tier outfit Free Agents FC in the Nedbank Cup, Bvuma kept another clean sheet and provided an assist for the first goal scored by Pule Mmodi in the 4-0 victory.
The 29-year-old has now kept three clean sheets in seven matches across all competitions.
