There has been pressure from some quarters for Middendorp to turn to Itumeleng Khune between the posts after Akpeyi’s costly mistake gifted Maritzburg United an opener in Chiefs’ 2-1 Premiership defeat last weekend. Bafana Bafana keeper Khune made his return from long-term injury in Chiefs’ 1-0 Nedbank last-32 win against Royal Eagles.
“For us, the indication about who’s playing or how we make the decision is from what is happening here on the [training] field,” Middendorp said at Chiefs’ Naturena Village on Wednesday.“We started the Nedbank Cup with Itu Khune at goalkeeper against Royal Eagles. We go to the next round — we did it last year with Bruce Bvuma in the Nedbank Cup, and we are doing it now — and that’s the decision that on Saturday we will play Itu Khune.
