The Soweto giants will resume their league campaign with a clash against Stellenbosch FC at FNB Stadium.

However, coach Fernando da Cruz will still have absentees for the clash, including goalkeeper Brandon Petersen.

“Chiefs still have four major injury concerns, with Brandon Petersen returning to individual training recovering a knee injury, Lebohang Maboe – who has played in all eight of Chiefs’ games this season – nursing an ankle injury, while Phili and Siphesihle Ndlovu remain long term absentees,” the club confirmed on their website.

As a result, Renaldo Leaner is expected to deputise once again after keeping a clean sheet on his debut in the goalless draw against Golden Arrows before the FIFA break.

The club have not provided an update on Luke Baartman, who came off injured during the national under-23’s 1-1 draw against Algeria last week.

Da Cruz’s charges will enter Tuesday’s clash still unbeaten in the Betway Premiership this season.
