    RIGHT-BACK: Khuliso Mudau

    After being recently criticised by Mngqithi, Mudau saw Thapelo Morena coming on for him in the second half against Sekhukhune United last weekend but his experience is needed for the North African assignment.

    Modiba is an almost obvious choice in this position which also has Asekho Tiwani, Divine Lunga and Terrence Mashego who has been battling fitness issues this season.
