Platinum Stars midfielder Lindokhule Mbatha is back in training after breaking his hand against Polokwane City earlier this season.
The 28-year-old had to be taken off in the closing moments of that game after sustaining the injury to his hand and until now has been focused on allowing it to heal properly.
While the player is back in training, it would seem that he’s still a long way away from being match fit and it remains to be seen when he will return to action for Dikwena.
Meanwhile, going into Sunday’s Telkom Knockout encounter with Maritzburg United, Allan Freese has no fresh injury worries other than the absence of Siphelele Mthembu with a thigh problem.

Prior to their MTN8 win last month, the TKO was the only major piece of silverware in the Stars trophy cabinet, and they will be hoping to take on step close to claiming it again when they meet the Team of Choice.
The two sides will meet at Moruleng Stadium at 15h00 on Sunday afternoon.
