Kaizer Chiefs will be without midfielder Samkelo Zwane in their match against SuperSport United on Tuesday as he is among players suspended for the next round of matches in the PSL.
Zwane slotted in central midfield, playing alongside new signing Thabo Cele, in Amakhosi’s 3-0 thrashing of Chippa United in the Nedbank Cup Round of 16 tie on Saturday, but will not be available on Tuesday after accumulating four yellow cards.
That will see coach Nasreddine Nabi call on captain Yusuf Maart to slot in alongside Cele after the skipper was also suspended for the weekend game.
Meanwhile, Orlando Pirates will be without midfielder Kabelo Dlamini for their trip to Golden Arrows on Wednesday as he is also suspended due to an accumulation of four yellow cards.
Who else is suspended this week?
Dlamini received his fourth straight booking on Saturday during Pirates’ 3-1 victory over Baroka in the Nedbank Cup and his absence will be a blow to coach Jose Riveiro who is already dealing with injuries in midfield and defence.
The midfielder has played in central midfield alongside Makhehlene Makhaula in Pirates’ last two matches against Mamelodi Sundowns and Baroka, owing to the injury of Thalente Mbatha, but Riveiro will be relieved that the ex-SuperSport United man is set to make a return to the squad.
Elsewhere, Sundowns will be without Tashreeq Matthews for at least two games following his sending off in their 2-0 Nedbank Cup victory over Mpheni Home Defenders.
Matthews scored the opening goal after eight minutes but was sent off for a second bookable offence in the 47th minute, leaving his team with the difficult task of closing out the match with 10 men.
