Chippa United are expected to have a new captain to lead the team on the field during their upcoming match against Mamelodi Sundowns.
The Chilli Boys are scheduled to host the Brazilians at the Sisa Dukashe Stadium in Mdantsane for their Absa Premiership match on Saturday night.
With the team's captain Mark Mayambela doubtful for the match, after he was reportedly left out of the squad that travelled to East London on Thursday, coach Eric Tinkler is expected to name a new captain to lead the side this weekend.
