Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed a solid 20-man squad for their decisive CAF Champions League Group D fixture against Al Masry, set to take place at the Suez Stadium today at 18:00 local time.
The match is vital for the AmaKhosi in a highly competitive section already dubbed the ‘group of death’, which also features continental heavyweights Zamalek and Zesco United.
The travelling party, which must secure a top-two finish to progress, features a blend of experience and emerging talent.
Goalkeepers Brandon Petersen and Bruce Bvuma provide stability, while the defence is bolstered by the return of Paseka Mako and the inclusion of Given Msimango.
In midfield, George Matlou and Nkosingiphile Ngcobo are expected to play pivotal roles.
The attack will be spearheaded by forwards Ashley Du Preez, Etiosa Ighodaro, and Flavio da Silva.
