Amakhosi are nervously awaiting the medical results of two key players – Itumeleng Khune and Caleb-Bonfils Bimenyimana.

Therefore, Amakhosi’s captain and their latest recruit are not guaranteed to play against the Bucs. Khune got injured during a match with Stellenbosch FC on 9 October while Bimenyimana was initially ruled out for four weeks. However, he started the MTN8 semi-final against AmaZulu.

BUCS INJURY CONCERNS AND A SUSPENSION

The Bucs have a longer list of injury concerns including a suspension. According to Goal, Vincent Pule, Thembinkosi Lorch, Thabang Monare and Miguel Timm all look set to miss the Soweto derby.

Timm is suspended for one match and will definitely not feature. Furthermore, Pule has been sidelined since the 4 October and has struggled with injuries for the last few seasons. Therefore, he is unlikely to feature against Amakhosi.
