Kaizer Chiefs have been handed a major boost ahead of the Soweto Derby against rivals Orlando Pirates with the return to action of several key players.
Nasreddine Nabi's men will be looking to collect their third win in five matches when they meet the in-form Pirates at FNB Stadium on Saturday.

The Khosi Nation will be pleased to know that midfielders Edson Castillo and Mduduzi Shabalala have both returned to full training after being sidelined with injuries and are in contention to feature in the titanic encounter.
Castillo has been out of action since the end of October after suffering a fracture on his fibula, while Shabalala missed out of the last two matches due to what was understood to be a knock sustained at training.
The pair were involved in the thick of things this week at the club's base in Naturena.
Although Castillo is still unlikely to feature, having been out of action for such a long period, he is an added option for Nabi.

The Naturena-based outfit have also added three new players to their artillery, giving them even more options ahead of what may perhaps be their most daunting task to date this term.

Kick-off is at 15:30.
