"Sometimes I must save the players because as from today (Saturday) we play every three days, there is only a gap of four days that we don't play football and that will be when we are travelling in Africa, so for me I think there is about 32 games to play, it's a league, so the league has started, with travelling, with injuries," Mosimane told the media after their 2-1 win over Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday.
"Keeping Themba Zwane away a little bit because his injury is not yet there, Wayne Arendse has got a calf, Denis Onyango could have played but, there are six games coming this month and we are travelling and we need Denis Onyango," he added.
