There is no way I can push Khune aside at Kaizer Chiefs - Akpeyi

Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi has admitted it will not be easy to push Itumeleng Khune down the pecking order but hopes he will not just sit on the bench.

This comes as the Bafana Bafana keeper is expected to make his return for the Soweto giants this weekend as they host SuperSport United in their third Premier Soccer League (PSL) match.

Following Khune’s injury, Nigerian keeper Akpeyi has served together with Bruce Bvuma, but he is aware ‘Itu’s’ return could minimize his chances to don the number one shirt.
