With crazy rumours over his future (Will he stay at Chiefs? Join Pirates? Join the circus?) causing all kinds of confusion in football circles there's one certainty: tonight Itumeleng Khune finally returns to the football pitch and it will be as a Kaiser Chiefs player.

According to The Daily Sun Kaiser Chief's assistant manager Doctor Khumalo has confirmed that Itu will start, probably alongside new signing David Zulu, against German side TSG 1899 Hoffenheim at FNB stadium tonight.

Itu meanwhile has taken to Instagram to all but confirm the good news with a message of thanks to his fans.

"Thank you very much to everyone who believed in me over the years & to my amazing fans.I deeply appreciate your undying Love and Support#GodBlessYouAll #GODisGREAT ??#32," he wrote next to a pic of him in his Kaiser Chiefs kit.

Welcome back,Chief!
