“We still going to miss Ashley who is going to be out for some time. George is doubtful as well. It is these two players and other players like Sithebe who are a little bit tight, because if you remember Sithebe was out for some time not playing competitive football, we brought him [in] and he had to play about three games in 10 days, and we expected that. That is why I had to substitute him, I was thinking that if we are to keep him on the field then we are risking injuries and we’ll need him for this game, hopefully, he’ll be fine,” Zwane stated on SoccerLaduma.

Unfortunately, the bad news does not end there.

Billiat has just caught the flu and it will be a nervous wait for Amakhosi fans over the next 24 hours.

“Khama has got a bout of flu, we don’t know whether he is going to be available or not. We’ll see how he responds between today and tomorrow,” Zwane added.

Therefore, Zwane and Dillon Sheppard will have to dig deep into their squad depth while making several changes to their starting XI.

Especially, in an attack where Du Preez and new recruit Bimenyimana are not available (he needs to obtain his work permit). Meaning, Amakhosi have no out-and-out striker as they look to become the first team to score against Richards Bay in this year’s DStv Premiership.
