Miguel Cardoso, the head coach of Mamelodi Sundowns, will be making two crucial adjustments to his squad ahead of their upcoming match against Kaizer Chiefs.

The Betway Premiership clash is set to take place on Saturday at 15:30 at Lucas Moripe Stadium.

Two Mamelodi Sundowns Players Suspended for Upcoming Match

Unfortunately for Sundowns, two important players will be unavailable for the match due to suspensions.

Aubrey Modiba and Denis Onyango have both accumulated four yellow cards, meaning they will have to sit out of the game against Amakhosi.

This suspension leaves a gap in the lineup, and Cardoso will need to find replacements for both key players.
