Read: Pule Signs Turkish Contract The biggest game in South African football takes place on Saturday afternoon at FNB Stadium, with the Glamour Boys going up against their bitter rivals, Orlando Pirates, for local bragging rights and three valuable points. Chiefs currently have Castro and Billiat doubtful for the tie as they face late fitness tests, while Lebogang Manyama is also only a possibility after surviving a car accident recently. Speaking to the media yesterday about the key pair, the Italian explained that they are training, but admitted he doesn't know if they will be fit to play on the weekend or not. Solinas said, "We have two more days to train and make the decision. These players are under observation. "They are training. We will wait for the medical staff to make the final decision if they will be able to play... On the other hand, injured or not, we will play with eleven players. If somebody is injured, another will get his opportunity to shine. The derby is a big game for big players." The Soweto giants will lock horns at 15h30 on Saturday, and there is a chance that the clubs could be fighting it out for a spot at the top of the table depending on tomorrow night's Bidvest Wits result.
