Petersen, who has been sidelined with an injury, emphasized the team's eagerness to get back on the field.

"We are itching to get going now. The supporters, the players, everyone is looking forward to the next game. All this because we can see progress now. The mentality that we have now is that we take it one game at a time. There is a lesson in everything that we are doing and things are looking really good," Petersen told the media.

"There is progress you can see. The whole technical team has brought a different vibe into the squad and things are slowly falling in place for the good of the team," Petersen added.

Regarding his injury, the goalkeeper shared that he has returned to training and is eager to rejoin the side soon. 

"You know I have been out with injury but now I am back in training. I have been training for the past two days and everything looks good. I am looking forward to be with the team and travelling with the team. I am excited to be back and I am looking at being with the team now," Petersen told journalists.

In the Carling Knockout, Chiefs have been drawn away to SuperSport United, where they will face former coach Gavin Hunt. Petersen's comments reflect the renewed sense of optimism and progress at Amakhosi under Nabi. As the team prepares for their upcoming challenges, including the Carling Knockout, the positive atmosphere and improved mentality bode well for their future performances.
