Sundowns news & squad
With Grant Kekana unavailable after his semi-final red card, Mothobi Mvala out with a long term injury and Keanu Cupido nursing a broken collarbone, Miguel Cardoso will have to shuffle his defensive pack to cobble together a centre back pairing.
The most likely solution will be Khulumani Ndamane partnering a converted fullback, with Kegan Johannes capable of switching from right back to centre back and Divine Lunga previously deployed in a similar manner.
Sundowns Probable XI: Williams, Mudau, Ndamane, Johannes, Modiba, Mokoena, Adams, Allende, Santos, Morena, Leon.

AS FAR news & squad
Alexandre Santos also has centre back concerns after Fallou Mendy was ruled out of the final through a muscle injury which will force the Portuguese coach to reconfigure his defensive structure at the worst possible time.
In the good news column, captain and midfielder Mohamed Rabie Hrimat has been declared fit to assume his midfield duties at Loftus.
AS FAR Probable XI: Tagnaouti, Camarà, Chlaihani, Benoun, El Ouazzani, Hrimat, Aouar, Bouchentouf, Ben Hamida, Salhi, Tissoudali.
