The former Mamelodi Sundowns player, on the other hand, did not disappoint in his first start and he has since expressed gratitude to everyone who helped him get back up to speed at Naturena, according to The South African.

“Firstly I want to thank everyone who helped me through my journey. When I got back I was a bit unfit and my teammates and the technical staff really helped me a lot in coming back to full fitness," said Dolly, as quoted by SuperSport.

Stuart Baxter explains why he dropped Itumeleng Khune from the line-up

Briefly News previously reported that all eyes were on the "title-chasing" Kaizer Chiefs in their clash against TS Galaxy but things didn't turn out the way they would've hoped. The match ended in a goalless draw and many noticed that Itumeleng Khune was not in the squad for the match.

The veteran goalkeeper was not in the starting line-up and wasn't even named as a substitute. Stuart Baxter has been praising Khune in the media over the last few weeks so many thought that he would be his number one man.

Speaking to the media after the draw, Baxter explained that his decision to drop Khune from the squad was purely tactical. The coach further stated that the decision has nothing to do with Khune's form.
