Black Leopards midfielder Andriamirado Andrianarimanana remains confident that he will play for Lidoda Duvha this campaign if the Absa Premiership season resumes.

The Madagascar international joined Kaizer Chiefs from Fosa Juniors in 2018, but it was revealed that Dax was still contracted to the Malagasy side and deemed illegal by Fifa.

However, Juniors took the matter to Fifa and won the case, while Amakhosi was banned from registering players in the next two transfer windows.

The 28-year-old midfielder struggled for game time at Chiefs and moved to Leopards at the start of the current campaign, having already made 11 appearances across all competitions so far this season.

‘Dax’, as he is affectionately known, believes that the current football break came at the right time following the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

‘I’m currently staying at home, training slow,’ Andrianarimanana told FarPost.

‘Yes boss, after two months, finish the problem. Yes, I play [after two months]. After two months I come back for playing, after two months.

‘It’s Jesus who gave me this, not corona, Jesus. Ja, Jesus gave me.’
