Kaizer Chiefs defender, Tsepo Masilela, should be fit for the Amakhosi’s next league game against Mamelodi Sundowns on January 23.

The 28-year-old was withdrawn from Bafana Bafana’s CHAN squad and replaced by Ajax Cape Town’s Thato Mokeke, with Masilela still making a recovery from the injury that he picked up late in 2013.

However, with the left-back having an extended chance to make a full recovery leading up to this month’s top-of-the-table clash, the Siya crew have been informed that he is expected to be fit.

Keegan Ritchie deputised for Masilela during his previous injury, and should once again be available if Masilela suffers a setback, though the Bafana Bafana international is likely to regain his place in Stuart Baxter’s team.
