With the Buccaneers set to be without Thembinkosi Lorch after the club announced this week that he has been removed from all its activities until December 12 because of the legal matters he has been involved in, Jose Riveiro is expected to make changes to his starting line-up.
Monnapule Saleng, who hasn't been a regular starter this season, could be set for a return to the first eleven, according to insiders.
Saleng has made five starts and three substitute appearances in 10 league matches for Bucs this season and was on the bench against Sekhukune and Chiefs respectively.

Kabelo Dlamini, who has made just one appearance this season, could be another player to return to the matchday squads in the coming matches after recovering from injury, as well as Lesedi Kapinga who has resumed training after he came back from the injury he struggled with.
Riveiro may also look to give experienced midfielder Vincent Pule his first start of the season after he came on as a substitute in the last three league matches following his long layoff due to injury.
