Kaizer Chiefs striker Lazarous Kambole believes the Soweto giants are on track to pick up where they left off before the coronavirus disruptions.

Amakhosi are back in training at Naturena as they look to regain their fitness ahead of a possible restart of the 2019-20 season.

The current campaign was suspended due to Covid-19 back in March, with Amakhosi placed at the top of the league standings.

Now, as the league desperately looks to get back to competitive games, Chiefs have had to shift their focus once again looking to end their five-year trophy drought with the league title.

‘We are doing well as a team and personally, I feel good. Training has been fantastic this week and I am very much enjoying being back,’ Kambole told the club’s official website.

‘It’s good to be back – we missed football. I missed my teammates, so it’s good to be around them again. It’s fantastic to be doing what we enjoy and that is playing football.

‘My body is managing with the training regime since we returned. I am happy with my fitness because even during the lockdown when we were training on our own, we were pushing ourselves hard.

‘Training as a group was a challenge for the first week after we returned, but right now, I am happy with everything,’ the Zambia international continued.

‘I am putting in a lot of hard work and am looking forward to resuming play again. As a team, we are on right track and we are doing a lot to ensure that we will be ready when we play our first game.’

Chiefs are four points above second-placed Mamelodi Sundowns, who have a game in hand, but Kambole is confident that his Amakhosi teammates have what it takes to handle the pressure.

‘We are professionals and we know how to handle the challenges that lie ahead. Being the log leaders requires a lot of hard work from the team because the pressure is on us,’ he explained.

‘Response from each player is good and we are working in the right direction and I am certain we will continue from where we left off before the lockdown.’
