Four days to go and there are three players every Amakhosi fan wants to see on the field on Saturday in a race against time! The good news is that all three players are back in full training.

We even got to witness a few minutes of Manyama against Baroka FC on Saturday.

So, will they be able to face Pirates in the Soweto derby?

The good news is that Parker is back and and Manyama got some game time under their belts. With Castro also getting some much-needed game time after missing months of action.

Therefore, all three players are eligible. As for Hlanti and Ngcobo, both players are available but have come from pretty serious injuries so they’re unlikely to be rushed into the starting line up. However, this depends on if Baxter opts for 4 or 5 defenders.

The latter could see one of these players thrown into the deep end. It is the Soweto derby aftercall!

Amakhosi travel to the Orlando Stadium on Saturday, 5 March 2022.

Kick-off is at 15:30.
