The announcement that Daniel Akpeyi – Chiefs’ No 1 goalkeeper in 2019-20‚ mostly with great success‚ at times less so – has concussion and is out for the remainder of the season has raised the question over whether Khune will make a return from the wilderness.
Asked on Tuesday if‚ given Khune has not been seen in a match squad during the bio-bubble‚ the goalkeeper has been in full training‚ Chiefs’ communications manager Vina Maphosa responded: “Ja‚ ‘Itu’ is around. He’s with the team‚ he’s been training.” Amakhosi’s media man said he understands the context of these being Chiefs’ biggest two matches in five years‚ having not won a trophy in their past four campaigns‚ and Akpeyi being injured and Amakhosi’s Bafana No.1 having done an unexplained disappearing act. Maphosa was asked if Chiefs will make sure Khune plays.
Chiefs have not explained Khune’s absence. The closest they came was when Middendorp‚ after the team’s return with a 1-1 draw against Bidvest Wits‚ said the keeper “missed some training sessions for different reasons” because he had some “challenges”‚ without expanding. “We don’t have anything that comes in a way where we have anything to communicate or alert your readers. Once we have anything to come through to alert supporters we will do that.”
