CAF Confederation Cup: Nkanyiso Shinga and Takalani Mazhamba among the Kaizer Chiefs players included in squad to face Zamalek

In the last Group D game, Kaizer Chiefs beat Al Masry 2-1 as the already eliminated Timu ya Ziko claimed a 1-0 win over Zamalek.

The result put Amakhosi top of the pool with 10 points, but they still have to get a ticket for the quarter final by at least avoiding defeat in Egypt.

The hosts, however, must win to avoid crashing out if their compatriots beat ZESCO.

Co-coaches Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef have named their 23-man squad for the competition.

Goalkeepers: Brandon Petersen, Bruce Bvuma, and Takalani Mazhamba.

Defenders: Thabiso Monyane, Dillan Solomons, Paseka Mako, Given Msimango, Zitha Kwinika, Nkanyiso Shinga

Midfielders: Lehlogonolo Matlou, Thulani Mabaso, Lebohang Maboe, Siphesihle Ndlovu, Mduduzi Shabalala, Mfundo Vilakazi, Pule Mmodi, Asanele Velebayi.

Forwards: Gaston Sirino, Wandile Duba, Glody Lilepo, Khanyiso Mayo, Flavio Silva, Ashley du Preez.

The Glamour Boys are without the injured Inacio Miguel, who has not recovered from a reported hamstring injury.

Nkanyiso Shinga replaces Aden McCarthy, who is suspended. The versatile defender has been a key player for the club in recent games.

Shinga hopes to make his debut after joining the Soweto giants in the off-season transfer window.

The fixture, initially slated for Sunday, was brought forward to Saturday, February 14.

It will be staged at the Al Salam Stadium from 18:00 SAT.
