Amakhosi face massive squad depth test
The Soweto giants are dealing with a mounting injury list that threatens to stretch their squad depth to the limit against a star-studded Sundowns side.
“Ethan Chislett, Flavio Da Silva, Bradley Cross, Paseka Mako, Nkanyiso Shinga, Rushwin Dortley and Faiz Abrahams are those expected to remain sidelined – either due to injury or lack of match fitness for now,” according to Idiski Times.
The Glamour Boys haven’t beaten Mamelodi Sundowns in the league since 2021. Though it is still early in the season, a win this weekend will signal their readiness to challenge for the Betway Premiership title under Da Cruz.
Action at the FNB Stadium is scheduled to get underway at 15:00. Fans have strongly been advised to arrive at the stadium well before kick-off to avoid delays.
