Kaizer Chiefs will go into the latest Soweto Derby with the benefit of at least having none of their senior players suspended despite losing a rising star.
Chiefs were forced into midfield changes against Gallants with Gaston Sirino and Pule Mmodi both serving one-match suspensions.

The two picked up their fourth yellow cards against Chippa United, which paved the way for them to become available for the big clash against Orlando Pirates on Saturday afternoon at FNB Stadium.
With Sirino and Mmodi returning, it will mean Nasreddine Nabi will only have Wandile Duba suspended this weekend.
Duba got his fourth yellow card against Gallants but did so on a day when Nabi carefully kept Inacio Miguel on the bench.
Miguel was back in the match-day squad after his recent injury concerns and did so with three yellow cards to his name, just like Duba, Mduduzi Shabalala, and Tashreeq Morris.
Duba suffered the consequences of the risk of playing him.

Being a central defender prone to being cautioned, Miguel was kept on the bench with the plan evidently to have him available for at least the first derby before the Nedbank Cup the following Saturday.
The Angolan-Portuguese already has seven yellow cards and one red in the 26 matches that he has played.
