Kaizer Chiefs tactician Nasreddine Nabi has issued an update on rising star Mfundo Vilakazi, who was substituted courtesy of what appeared to be an injury during the 2-2 draw against Magesi FC on Wednesday.
It took a late Mduduzi Shabalala brace for Chiefs to salvage a draw against Magesi after Wonderboy Makhubu and Edmore Chirambadare had put the hosts in a comfortable position going into the last quarter of the game.

One of the casualties in the match was Vilakazi, who had been a livewire and a thorn in the the opposition's flesh, before having to be substituted just over the hour mark after expressing discomfort around his hamstring.
For the Khosi Nation, the major concern has been on whether the teenager had suffered a hamstring injury.
Nabi has put those worries to rest.
The Belgian mentor explained that the attacking midfielder is fine.
"About Mfundo? We don't believe it's an injury," Nabi told SuperSportTV via translator and assistant coach Cedric Kaze.
"It was just cramps from fatigue. He ran a lot, and we believe he will be fine."
The Soweto giants will need all hands on deck as they prepare for a titanic encounter against rivals Mamelodi Sundowns in the last eight of the Carling Knockout.
