Mokotjo set to return

Aug 7, 2012 | Nick Said | 0 comments

KAMOHELO Mokotjo will make a return to the Feyenoord squad for their European Champions league tie against Ukrainian side Dinamo Kiev tonight.

READY: Kamohelo Mokotjo

He missed the first leg in Kiev through injury, but has since recovered from a troublesome ankle problem and is back in full training.

Feyenoord trail 2-1 from the first leg, but their away goal means a 1-0 win will be enough to safely see them into the next round.

This is the first time that they have qualified for the European Champions League in 10 years, a long time out of the limelight for a club that has such a rich history in European club competition.

Their fortunes have improved under former Dutch international Ronald Koeman, who won this competition as a player with PSV Eindhoven and Barcelona.

  • May Mahlangu will be in action for Swedish champions Helsingborg tomorrow night as they defend a 3-0 lead in the tie with the home leg to come.

It should be a formality for the side, especially as their form has picked up in recent weeks.

Winners in the playoff round will be entered into the lucrative group stages.

  • Still to enter the competition is Bafana Bafana playmaker Thulani Serero, whose Ajax Amsterdam team have been given a bye directly into the group stages.
