    PIRATES PLAYERS LIKELY TO BE SUSPENDED

    If goalkeeper Sipho Chaine is booked against Richards Bay, he will not be available for the Soweto Derby.

    The Bafana Bafana goalkeeper is currently sitting on three yellow cards, the same as his coach Jose Riveiro.

    Top performer Mduduzi Shabalala is also sitting on three yellow cards and any caution against Free Agents will rule him out of the Soweto Derby.

    Midfielders Yusuf Maart, Samkelo Zwane and Njabulo Blom are also facing a similar predicament.
