Sibusiso Khumalo will make his debut in an official match when Kaizer Chiefs face Highlands Park tonight at Tembisa’s Makhulong Stadium.

Meanwhile, George Lebese returns to the starting line-up, while George Maluleka starts in place of Lucky Baloyi compared to the 1-1 Absa Premiership draw against Platinum Stars.

Coach Steve Komphela, however, has kept faith with the attacking duo of Hendrick Ekstein and Edward Manqele.

Good news is that Siphiwe Tshabalala is fully fit again, although he will begin the encounter on the bench.

The game between Amakhosi and Highlands Park will kick-off at 19:30.
