Coach Giovanni Solinas has decided to bring back Gustavo Páez into the starting line-up for this evening’s Absa Premiership fixture against Highlands Park.

George Maluleka, however, who is fully fit again will start on the bench. ‘Mido’ was handed the Man of Match award after a brilliant performance against Free State Stars, but then missed the next game against AmaZulu due to a thigh injury.

Kaizer Chiefs still have Leonardo Castro out with an ankle injury, while Joseph Molangoane is still on the road to full recovery from his broken leg. Erick Mathoho is back in full training, but he didn’t make it into the final match day squad.

Chiefs will play Highlands Park on the road at Tembisa’s Makhulong Stadium on Tuesday night, 2 October 2018 (kick-off is at 19:30).

The referee is Victor Gomes.
