Having struggled in the final third in recent weeks, Kaizer Chiefs look set to receive a major boost after the international break with the return of a key player to the squad.
Amakhosi are in need of some inspiration in the final third of the pitch and the one man who could provide that is Ashley du Preez, who has been out nursing an injury.

Without the former Stellenbosch FC attacker upfront, Amakhosi have not always been a threat. When he is around, Du Preez not only provides the goals, but his pace and trickery on the ball makes life difficult for the opposition.
It appears the player is set to make a return after the FIFA break, which will be a big boost for interim coach Cavin Johnson, who is determined to prove himself in the position in the hope that it will convince management to keep him on for a longer period as the main man on the bench.
Du Preez, who has three goals in all competitions this season, has not featured for the club since early October, when Molefi Ntseki was still in charge. Johnson will have an opportunity to use the 26-year-old forward for the first time after the break.
