He tore a thigh muscle in a draw against then-champions Orlando Pirates. “It feels good to be back at training and to see most of the familiar faces,” the Amazulu Player of the season for 2011/2012, told the club’s official website recently.
Nyadombo urged his teammates to fight for a positive result at the Moses Mabhida and give the ailing Mandela a befitting 95th birthday gift. “The match is part of the celebrations to honour Nelson Mandela, who is an icon not only in Africa but all over the world and we would like to pay our respect by doing our best on the field,” he said.
The player, who is teammates with fellow countrymen Tapuwa Kapini and Brett Amidu at Amazulu, said such matches would be appropriate preparation for the upcoming season.
