Khama Billiat needs some time: Zwane

Zim Now Writer

Kaizer Chiefs gaffer Arthur Zwane has said that Khama Billiat needs a bit of time before he comes back on the field.

Billiat and his counterpart Ashley du Preez have missed some games for Chiefs. However, Zwane believes that Preez will be back before the former Zimbabwe international.

“Khama started jogging this past weekend and ‘Ash’ (Ashley du Preez) was actually supposed to start the game, but he came to me and said, ‘Coach, I’m not comfortable’,” said Zwane as quoted by FarPost.

“And then I said to him listen, we don’t obviously want to play a player that doubts himself. At the same time, we want a fit Ash as well, but he’s not far in terms of returning at any given time.”

The two forwards are key players for Amakhosi with Zimbabwe international Billiat managing four assists while his South African counterpart has two goals and as many assists so far this campaign.

They have been regulars under Zwane, whose side sits fourth on the table with 24 points from 14 matches, seven behind leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.
