Orlando Pirates trio of Patrick Maswanganyi, Relebohile Mofokeng and Tapelo Xoki are at risk of missing the Nedbank Cup final against Kaizer Chiefs.
The two Soweto giants will lock horns at Durban’s Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday.
Kick-off is at 15:00.
ORLANDO PIRATES TRIO COULD MISS SOWETO DERBY AGAINST KAIZER CHIEFS
Now, Maswanganyi, Mofokeng and Xoki will have to avoid being booked should they feature against Golden Arrows on Tuesday.
This is because they have already accumulated three yellow cards, meaning they are a caution away from suspension.
Coach Jose Riveiro has an option to rest all of them in Tuesday’s league against Arrows.
However, that could have an impact on the balance of the team given the absence of two other players in Nkosinathi Sibisi and Thalente Mbatha.
The Pirates duo – Sibisi and Mbatha – are serving suspension for this Arrows game, but will be available for the Chiefs game.
SHOULD THE TRIO BE RESTED AGAINST GOLDEN ARROWS?
