Nedbank Cup: Let Khune work for his place at Kaizer Chiefs - Middendorp

Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp has indicated Itumeleng Khune will have to work hard to reclaim his spot in the team's starting line-up.

The German tactician recently revealed Khune will be included in the 18-man squad for their Nedbank Cup Last 32 match against Royal Eagles on Saturday.

However, Khune is unlikely to start in goal with current first-choice goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi set to start against the National First Division (NFD) outfit.

“Daniel Akpeyi signed another two-year contract. Itu Khune is still under contract, where how does he fit in? Age is totally on his side, he got a bit of an injury challenge at the moment," Middendorp told the media.
