Chiefs gave a look inside Naturena at an open day yesterday...
With the players in good spirits...
Despite their seventh place league position...
And string of injury problems.
There are no new injury concerns for the club...
Though the likes of Manyama, Mathoho...
And Khune are still on the road to recovery.
Ekstein seemed in good spirits despite his lack of game time lately...
And Happy Mashiane is unlikely to return to action just yet...
But Bvuma will have come back in high spirits from Bafana camp.
Kaizer Chiefs were all smiles at Naturena this week as they prepare to face Cape Town City in the Nedbank Cup, including a player who has been recently left out due to his contract wrangle.

Hendrick Ekstein hasn't played for the Glamour Boys since the start of March having fallen down the pecking order under Ernst Middendorp, with his return to the stands aligning with the fact that he is yet to sign a new contract for after the 2018/19 season.
'Pule' and his future at Chiefs remains unknown at this point in time, however, it is thought that the chairman, Kaizer Motaung, is a big fan of his, while Middendorp was also speaking highly of him before he started to leave him out of the matchday squad.
It is thought that there are no fresh injury concerns for the German coach going into their must-win encounter with City on Sunday, though it comes too soon for the likes of Erick Mathoho, Lebogang Manyama, Itumeleng Khune and, most likely, Happy Mashiane as they continue their recovery from injuries.

With Nkosingiphile Ngcobo picking up a season-ending injury against SuperSport United, a gap could well open up for Ekstein to return for the Glamour Boys, though that decision lies completely in the hands of a coach aiming for a spot in the Nedbank semi-finals.
