Nedbank Cup Round of 32: Mamelodi Sundowns vs Gomora United Preview - Kick-off time, TV channel & squad news

Earlier this week, Masandawana coach Miguel Cardoso said defender Mothobui Mvala had a second surgery and is now recovering.

January signing Monnapule Saleng is expected back to full fitness earlier than initially anticipated. 

After missing the last two games, captain Ronwen Williams could be back at the weekend when Sundowns face FC Saint-Eloi Lupopo in a CAF Champions League tie.

Gomora suffered a big blow on the PSL transfer deadline day when experienced defender Justice Chabalala left the club.

The former Orlando Pirates centre-back is now a free agent and has been linked with a move to Siwelele FC.    

However, former Bidvest Wits and SuperSport forward Mxolisi Macuphu could provide the much-needed experience against a big team like Sundowns.

Kaizer Chiefs loanee Sfiso Timba could also make his Gomora debut against Sundowns. 

Sundowns go into Wednesday's encounter under pressure from the 2-1 CAF Champions League defeat by Al Hilal away last Friday.

It was a result which exerted more pressure on coach Miguel Cardoso, whose future is uncertain at Chloorkop.

The 2-2 home draw with Al Hilal had already made the situation difficult for Masandawana. 

They are now coming up against lower-tier opponents and would be out to avoid what would be a monumental upset, which could be the final nail in Cardoso's coffin.

Gomora go into this match on a four-match winless run, which has left them 12th on the NFD table.
