On Saturday, Kaizer Chiefs coach Molefi Ntseki praised Keagan Dolly for showing character when he made his return to the pitch after a six-month injury layoff.
Dolly was introduced in the second half of Amakhosi’s 1-0 defeat to Cape Town City at FNB Stadium, and although the result was not ideal, the former Mamelodi Sundowns player showed glimpses of brilliance as he tried to get the hosts back on level terms.
Speaking after the game, Ntseki said: “When it comes to Dolly coming back from an injury of over six months…I think it was a good thing for him to come in today to have a taste of how life is on the pitch. He came in and showed character and he showed a high level of tactical understanding of the game. It’s just that his influence did not get a goal. But I think when you have your top players coming back from injuries, it helps the team and it gives confidence. Dolly, being the leader that he is, it was very important for us to have him back.”
The defeat to City saw Amakhosi remain in seventh position on the Premiership standings, 13 points behind leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.
Ntseki will be hoping Dolly can play a key role in getting them consistent results and help the team move up the table.
