Jomo Cosmos fans will be delighted to know that Tebogo Alan Mabula returned to training early in the week after recovering from a serious injury.
The influential midfielder had been sidelined since the 1-0 home defeat by Maccabi FC on 6 January, and missed the last five matches including last month’s shock Nedbank Cup win over Baroka FC in Polokwane.
But the former Highlands Park man has undergone a quick healing process, one that will delight Ezenkosi supporters.
Although it’s still not clear if the 26-year-old star will be match-fit for Sunday’s crucial encounter, his presence is seen as a morale-booster for an Ezenkosi side seeking glory in South Africa’s biggest domestic trophy.
