Kaizer Chiefs co-coaches Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef could be involved in their final fixture with the club on Saturday.
A few weeks ago, Kaizer Chiefs defender Reeve Frosler conceded that it would be extremely difficult for the team to stay motivated after securing a third-place finish in the Betway Premiership. That has seemingly been the case.
Chiefs once again needed the heroics of goalkeeper Brandon Petersen to secure all three points against AmaZulu in their penultimate clash due to being lacklustre and off-beat on the day.

They guided the team to a top-three finish for the first time since Chiefs ended as runners-up during the 2019/20 campaign.
