  • Bruce Bvuma, Kaizer Chiefs, January 2025.BackPagePix

    GOALKEEPER: Bruce Bvuma

    The Amakhosi custodian, who conceded two goals against AmaZulu in midweek after also shipping a goal against Orlando Pirates last weekend, will be keen to keep a clean sheet and this would be key for him.

  • Reeve Frosler, Kaizer Chiefs, October 2024Backpagepix

    RIGHT-BACK: Reeve Frosler

    One of Chiefs' consistent players, Frosler is an almost obvious choice for Nabi on the right side of defence.

  • Bradley Cross, Kaizer Chiefs, January 2025Backpagepix

    LEFT-BACK: Bradley Cross

    Although he struggles with the speed needed for a wing-back, Cross remains a trusted player of Nabi.

  • Inacio Miguel, Kaizer Chiefs, October 2024Inacio Miguel/Instagram

    CENTRE-BACK: Inacio Miguel

    Entrusted as one of Chiefs' captains in his debut season at Naturena, the Angola international is under pressure to stop the rate at which Amakhosi have been conceding goals.

  • Rushwin Dortley, Kaizer Chiefs, November 2024Backpagepix

    CENTRE-BACK: Rushwin Dortley

    Bafana Bafana will be returning for international duty in March and Dortley would want to keep on impressing Hugo Broos.

  • Yusuf Maart, Kaizer ChiefsBackpage

    CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Yusuf Maart

    After coming on from the bench during the Soweto Derby against Orlando Pirates, Maart was back in the starting lineup against AmaZulu and would want to show he deserves starting this match.

  • Njabulo Blom, Kaizer Chiefs, October 2024Backpagepix

    CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Njabulo Blom

    Thabo Cele was not at his best against Usuthu when he was allowed to start and that gives Blom a chance to return to the lineup also ahead of Sibongiseni Mthethwa.

  • Mduduzi Shabalala, Kaizer Chiefs, December 2024Backpagepix

    ATTACKING MIDFIELDER: Mduduzi Shabalala

    The 21-year-old is Chiefs' joint-top goal-scorer in the PSL after finding the back of the net four times and it is difficult not to select him.

  • Glody Lilepo, Kaizer Chiefs & Deon Hotto, Orlando Pirates, February 2025.BackPagePix

    RIGHT ATTACKER: Glody Lilepo

    The DR Congo international started against AmaZulu and would want to justify Nabi's trust in him.

  • Pule Mmodi, Kaizer Chiefs & Nkosinathi Sibisi, Orlando Pirates, Fevruary 2025.BackPagePix

    LEFT ATTACKER: Pule Mmodi

    Guilty of missing several chances, Mmodi remains a player relied upon by Nabi.

  • Tashreeq Morris & Pule Mmodi, Kaizer Chiefs, February 2025Backpagepix

    CENTRE-FORWARD: Tashreeq Morris

    Morris contributed to Chiefs' first goal against AmaZulu and that was enough for him to be considered for Friday's game.
