Nasreddine Nabi is a little over a week away from his first Soweto derby and he is at risk of being without a few players should they get booked.
Amakhosi begin their Nedbank Cup campaign this Sunday at FNB Stadium against lower division club Free Agents FC, just a week before the big Betway Premiership clash at the same venue.

Amakhosi have had big upsets against lower division sides in the Nedbank Cup previously and Nabi might not want to take too many risks by leaving out his key players.
Four players are going into the clash against Free Agents on three yellow cards and one more booking would rule them out of the derby next weekend.
Captain Yusuf Maart, Samkelo Zwane, Njabulo Blom and Mduduzi Shabalala who has been nursing an injury, are at risk of missing the derby if they get a booking on Sunday.

Nabi could be tempted to give some of the other players in the team an opportunity to impress this weekend.
One of them is midfielder George Matlou, who got his first start of the campaign against Sekhukhune United last weekend.
