Kaizer Chiefs stopper Akpeyi has made things difficult for me - Khune

Kaizer Chiefs captain Itumeleng Khune says Daniel Akpeyi has made it difficult for him to return to the team's starting line-up.

The goalkeeper made his first appearance for Amakhosi since September 2019 last weekend as they edged out National First Division (NFD) side Royal Eagles in the Nedbank Cup Last 32 match.

Khune, who has struggled with injuries this season, has been serving as Chiefs' second-choice keeper behind Nigeria international Akpeyi and the Bafana Bafana shot-stopper has now opened up about his current situation.

“It felt great to be back in the mix and the guys and supporters welcomed me with open arms,” Khune told the media.
