The former Kaizer Chiefs skipper has explained that AmaZayoni have limited options in their first team squad and, to keep star players fit, there will be several changes to the starting XI in tonight's game against Stuart Baxter's men.
"If you saw against Maritzburg United we had to rest Collins Mbesuma because we know he needed that rest as we prepared for this important game against SuperSport," Mabedi told the Siya crew. "We have to rest players in other games and that will help us tonight when we face SuperSport."
However, Mabedi is not underestimating the challenge posed by Matsatsantsa, who are in good form and have recently broken into the top eight of the PSL standings.
"It won't be easy as they have a great coach in Stuart and very good players as well. We are ready for the fight though," he explained.
