Head coach Nasreddine Nabi has provided a list of the players that will play no part in Kaizer Chiefs' make-or-break Nedbank Cup Last 16 clash against Chippa United.
Chiefs, currently rocked by an injury mini-crisis, will need to find ways to progress to the quarterfinals without the services of at least six players.
These are Ashley Du Preez, Dillan Solomons, Wandile Duba, Yusuf Maart, Sibongiseni Mthethwa, and possibly George Matlou.

Club captain Maart is out due to a suspension.
Du Preez and Duba are also definite absentees as the attacking duo still have several more weeks to recover from their respective injuries.
Defensive midfielder Mthethwa is out owing to a muscle injury, as revealed by Nabi in Wednesday's Nedbank Cup press conference.
Meanwhile, Matlou and Castillo are doubtful with the pair having returned to training after their respective injuries but may still be lacking in match fitness and unlikely to be ready to feature come Saturday.
"George Matlou has been training this week. Him, Solomons and Dove..." Nabi said via translator and assistant coach Cedric Kaze.
Additionally, previously injured Solomons and Edmilson Dove - who was unregistered by Amakhosi in the first half of the season - still have plenty of match fitness to catch up on, according to the Tunisian-Belgian.

"But we feel Solomons and Dove need more time to play friendly matches to get used to the tempo and get themselves fit," he added.
The Soweto giants' match against the Chilli Boys is at FNB Stadium.
Kick-off is at 18:00.
