Keegan Ritchie replaces Tsepo Masilela in Kaizer Chiefs’ line-up to face Platinum Stars in a Telkom Knockout Last 16 match this afternoon.
Masilela already collected four yellow cards this season and, as a result of this, got an automatic one game suspension.
Otherwise, Amakhosi coach Steve Komphela fields an unchanged side against Stars, compared to the most recent one-all draw against Ajax Cape Town in an Absa Premiership fixture. This means as well that Edward Manqele has again been selected to start ahead of George Lebese.
Also, Reyaad Pieterse will continue to be in goal, because Itumeleng Khune hasn’t as yet recovered completely from his niggling knee injury.
The clash between Chiefs and Dikwena will take place at the Moruleng Stadium on Sunday afternoon (kick-off is at 15:00).
Chiefs' line up: Pieterse (1); Gaxa (2), Mathoho (3), Bukenya (30), Ritchie (23); Manqele (22), Katsande (31), Letsholonyane (6), Tshabalala, captain (14); Parker (25), Abraw (9)
