‘Tower’, Willard Katsande and Daniel Akpeyi were forced to sit out the 2-1 defeat to the Team of Choice on Sunday afternoon due to suspension, and while Katsande and Akpeyi are now back available for selection, the centre back will sit out the game against Stellies as he completes his two-match ban.

Middendorp will be eager to see a response from his team in the Western Cape as they attempt to extend their lead at the top of the table following their disappointment in Nelspruit, and he’s expected to make changes to the side once more.

Chiefs face Stellenbosch on Wednesday night at 19h30.
