Colombian striker Leonardo Castro returned to action for Amakhosi in their 1-0 win away at Maritzburg United last Sunday, following almost six months out due to injury.
The 32-year-old has featured in 111 matches for Kaizer Chiefs, scoring 29 goals and providing nine assists following his surprise switch from Mamelodi Sundowns, where he had formed a formidable attacking trio (the "CBD") with Khama Billiat and Keagan Dolly, who have since re-united at the Soweto giants.

A relieved Castro says "I was missing my teammates and being on the field, it was a tough time because the worst part of the injury was the recovery. Now, I've managed to get back and I want to continue to work hard and improve my game every day.
"It is difficult because the season is on already and for me, there was no time to do a pre-season or friendly games or get into the rhythm. It was quite difficult, but I am going to work hard to help my team," said Castro.

The Glamour Boys take on Amazulu at home tomorrow and then travel to face Swallows in Dobsonville on Sunday, and Castro is confident ahead of the week's fixtures.
"We have a strong squad. Almost all the players are available for selection, which is a good point for us. With these games coming in the week and on the weekend we are going to need everybody,” concluded Castro.
