Local professional player back in action
A local professional soccer player, who plays for the Premier Soccer League side, Black Leopards, is now ready to play again.
The experienced defender, Isaac Masia from Mathipane village in Bolobedu has been out of action for about three months due to a serious knee injury he sustained during playoffs.
He is now back at training with the club but has to arrive at least 30 minutes before normal training time to do final rehabilitation exercises.
Masia, who is happy to work under coach Dylan Kerr again, says he will only be available for selection next week in a derby game against Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila.
“I am looking forward to playing again for the first time this season. I know exactly what coach Dylan wants because I have played under him before,” Masia said.

Leopards did not have a good start to the new PSL season.
They lost their first three games under former coach Patric Aussems from Belgium who was later replaced by English mentor Dylan Kerr.
Under Dylan they have collected their first three points against Maritzburg United.
Masia’s return will bring back stability to the Leopards back four and give them added advantage on set plays.
