Reneilwe Letsholonyane expecting more from Njabulo Blom at Kaizer Chiefs

The 24-year-old midfielder has struggled to replicate the form he enjoyed while turning out for Amakhosi in the 2021/22 season that saw him secure a move to Major League Soccer side St. Loius City.

Blom spent two seasons on loan in the United States before returning to Naturena this term.

He has played in four of the club's five Betway Premiership matches this season and in the recent Carling Knockout Cup loss to Mamelodi Sundowns where he was stretchered off the field with an injury.

It has since been discovered that Blom only suffered from a muscle cramp as a result of a limited pre-season.

Former Chiefs midfielder Letsholonyane wants to see more from Blom.

He told FARPost: "He's a good player, we have seen what he can do, and he has previously performed well for the team. He has quality.

"Personally, I haven't seen him perform since he returned to the club. I would like to see more from him. He can get there by working extra hard and putting in more effort."

Nabi recently stated: "Not all the players are ready, especially some of the new ones like Blom. He's not ready yet and needs more physical preparation."

Chiefs next face Richards Bay at the Peter Mokaba Stadium on November 27.
