(The Post News)– Since the start of the current season, Kaizer Chiefs has struggled to score goals, and Tebogo Potsane, a winger at the club, has expressed eagerness to assist with winning matches. After eight months of not playing because of an injury, Potsane has promised that his return will bring a positive impact to Nasreddine Nabi’s team performance.Â
Potsane was brought in as a substitute a week ago in a match against Polokeane City, and he played half the game, which ended with a massive loss for the glamour boys. Despite the loss, Potsane’s performance was promising, and he has promised to make a positive contribution in the Chiefs’ crucial next match against TS Galaxy. Potsane is determined to ensure that Nabi resolves the team’s challenge of not scoring goals; he noted that his job is to create goalscoring opportunities, assist, or score.Â
“Now that the injury is over, I can concentrate on football, which makes me very happy. Being injured made it extremely difficult to watch from the sidelines, but I’m thankful for the support I got from my family, teammates, the technical team, and the team’s doctors and physiotherapists,” Potsane told the club’s media department.
He went on to say that returning to the squad and looking forward to more playing time makes him very happy, and he hopes to help the team succeed this season. According to Potsane, Kaizer Chiefs supporters have been great, and he encouraged them to continue supporting the squad because they put in a lot of effort on the field. Potsane also stated that the team has moved on from the previous game and is now focused on the upcoming game against TS Galaxy.
