Despite his long spell on the sidelines owing to injury, a situation which could have a negative effect on some players in many ways, Lepasa has been commended for his positive attitude and his support to the team.

The 27-year-old is said to be fully focused and aiming for a strong return once he has fully recovered amid previous reports linking him with a move away from the Soweto giants.

"The great thing about him is his maturity both as a footballer and as a person. Many players in his situation would be grumpy and all sorts of things, but he remains with a positive attitude and is supportive to those who are playing and the team. With that attitude, you wish he comes back and starts scoring goals again like he was doing at some point and was playing for Bafana Bafana. He has made a lot of progress and he isn't far from returning," said the source.

As confirmed by Bucs, Lepasa has been undergoing rehabilitation.
