Amakhosi are monitoring Dolly together with defender Edmilson Dove who was also out with injury in this campaign.
Ntseki discussed Dolly's progress playing his first 45 minutes in a friendly match against University of Pretoria during the FIFA break but he can not say for sure if the player will be available on Saturday against Royal AM in a Premiership encounter at FNB Stadium.
"The most important thing was giving a break to all of us. I think we actually played back-to-back matches with so much expectations in the team to get results and winning those matches," Ntseki told the media.
"So it was more of mental pressure and physical strength on the players so we really needed the break which came at the right time," Ntseki said.
The Chiefs coach added that for the injured players, this was the right time to monitor them.
"As for the players that have been injured I think we look at the extent of the injury. If you look at Dolly it was a very long lay off in terms of the injury sustained.
"Dove also had to be rested because because the injury was also a very serious one. So, they are back at training. We are monitoring them with the medical team and the fitness trainer and to see if physically and tactically they are ready.
"So, as of now we had two weeks of work with them but we still have to monitor them and see if they will be available for the next game or the game after Royal AM," Ntseki observed.
