As confirmed earlier today by Soccer Laduma, Sundowns have officially registered 24 players for this season's CAF Champions League campaign, a list that excludes the departed Keagan Dolly and Algerian Fares Hachi, who only joined the club after the CAF squad registration deadline on 15 January.
Masandawana have confirmed that Denis Onyango is a doubt for tonight's encounter due to the shot-stopper having just recovered from an injury.
However, Wayne Sandilands will look to once again step up to the plate as Sundowns look to get their first win in this CAF Champions League campaign, and also prevent their Ugandan rivals from scoring an away goal.
Khama Billiat, who has been sidelined for the team's past four matches due to injury, could return to action for Masandawana tonight, giving head coach Mosimane more depth in his attacking options.
Here's how Mosimane could line up his starting XI tonight:
Goalkeeper
Wayne Sandilands
Defenders
LB: Tebogo Langerman, CB: Soumahoro Bangaly, CB: Ricardo Nascimento, and RB: Thapelo Morena
Midfielders
CDM: Hlompho Kekana, CDM: Tiyani Mabunda, and AM: Sibusiso Vilakazi
Attackers
LW: Themba Zwane, RW: Anthony Laffor, and FW: Percy Tau
