Siphiwe Tshabalala has recovered from his injury and is back in the team to start tonight’s Absa Premiership match against Bidvest Wits.

It means that Mandla Masango, who started against Mamelodi Sundowns last week, is on the bench.

George Lebese, however, is still out with a slight injury.

Reyaad Pieterse continues to be in goal with Itumeleng Khune on the bench.

Chiefs are at present on 66 points from 28 games, having already won the Absa Premiership trophy. Coach Stuart Baxter has indicated that his players won’t rest before the league is finished, looking to collect maximum points.
