The Zimbabwean midfielder has been back in the team on a regular basis of late and put in a solid performance in the 1-0 win in Morocco last Saturday
Willard Katsande seems to be heading close to his best form just when Kaizer Chiefs need it most as they try to navigate past Wydad Casablanca and into the Caf Champions League final.
Katsande had been in and out of the team earlier in the season and had seemingly not fully earned the trust of previous head coach Gavin Hunt.
Hunt was happy to give opportunities to more youthful midfielders such as Njabulo Blom, Nkosingiphile Ngcobo and Darrel Matsheke, while both Katsande and Kearyn Baccus struggled for game-time.
