Addressing the media on Friday ahead of the clash, Kaze said that while they are missing the four players, they have been boosted by the return of Gaston Sirino and Khanyisa Mayo.

“As you can see for example Khanyisa Mayo is available for selection after spending a few weeks out of the field. Gaston Sirino is back as well from suspension. But there are players that have been like Rushin Dortley and Fiacre  Ntswari they are out for this game and as well as Glody Lilepo and Aden McCarthy have not recovered yet from their injuries for this game, but the rest of the players are available for selection,”  Kaze told the media.

“I believe that everything comes with you know, with experience of  how you are managing the team. I thought that the second goal that we concede on set piece, it was unfortunate due to probably  a technical mistake. But as well, even before the game, I believed that we were in a better in place, we were playing better. We were getting opportunities,” Kaze observed.

Amakhosi’s encounter with Zamalek FC gets underway at 15h00.
