The experienced coach singled out the Bafana Bafana midfielder, who is also the frontman in Chiefs' newfound form according to KickOff.

"I think he's obviously showing the quality that he has and that everyone knows he possesses. We know we can't allow him the freedom and space, especially in the final third," said Barker.

Things are going well for Keagan Dolly and he has regained a place back in the Bafana Bafana squad who will face Ghana and Zimbabwe in the next World Cup qualifiers according to SowetanLIVE. Barker also pointed out that Kaizer Chiefs are doing much better.

"These are signs of a team that is well-coached and it is starting to show at Chiefs. There are a number of players we have got to be aware of, but yes, Keagan does pose a big threat for us," said the coach.

Stuart Baxter drops Keagan Dolly's weight loss "secret"

Briefly News previously reported that when Keagan Dolly first joined Kaizer Chiefs, there was a lot of excitement in the air from fans as they looked forward to having some creativity in the midfield.

A big talking point though was his weight, as he looked a little chunkier than he did before. As a footballer, there's always pressure to be match fit and that also comes with keeping a healthy weight.

After working hard, Dolly shed the weight very quickly and now coach Stuart Baxter has revealed how the number 10 did it.

"He's worked hard. I can't take responsibility, I think from the coach comes inspiration, from the player comes motivation," said Baxter, according to a report by KickOff.
