Also injured is star player Khama Billiat, who is two weeks away from making his return to the team.
Furthermore, Chiefs will be without Siphosakhe Ntiya-Ntiya and Darrel Matsheke who are both suspended for the encounter at FNB Stadium.
Ntiya-Ntiya will be available for selection after this match as he missed Amakhosi’s previous match against AmaZulu.
Matsheke, on the other hand, got his marching orders against Usuthu in midweek, meaning he will only be back in contention on March 10 against Maritzburg United.

According to the club, Kgotso Moleko will also miss this crucial clash against Kaitano Tembo’s side due to family commitments.
The absence of the six players means Gavin Hunt will again be forced to reshuffle his usual starting line-up in an attempt to find solutions to his struggling team.
