The Team of Choice recently took part in two friendly matches against AmaZulu at the Moses Mabhida Outer Fields.

The first game ended 2-2, with Renaldo Donnelly and Jabulani Ncubeni on the score-sheet for the PMB side, while Stanton Lewis scored twice for the coastal outfit.

In the second game, Lentjies, along with Felix Obada, scored for United in a 2-1 win over Usuthu (Ayanda Dlamini netting for the hosts).

A fit Lentjies will be a big boost to coach Ian Palmer and will provide the Maritzburg manager with a welcome selection ‘headache’.

He will now have the option of drafting Lentjies into a talent-laden midfield that includes regulars Kulegani Madondo and Obada, plus youngsters Jabulani Ncubeni, Sheldon Lawrence, Michael Morton and Rheece Evans, not to mention midfielder-cum-striker Prince Olomu.

United’s next fixture is away to Bloemfontein Celtic at the Seisa Ramabodu Stadium on September 14.
