Stars have been dealt a major blow with injuries to both their key strikers in Andrea Fileccia and Moeketsi Sekola.
Fileccia has been ruled out for the season, after picking up a serious knee injury in the Free State derby against Bloemfontein Celtic last weekend.
Sekola is likely to be out for four to six weeks, owing to a hamstring tear he suffered during the same game.
While Stars general manager Rantsi Mokoena has indicated that the club has been assessing its options, with a view to bring players as replacements for Fileccia and Sekola in the interim, his father believes that the setback will give Sthembiso Ngcobo and Sydney Masana an opportunity to shine.
