The Siya crew understands that a debut is looming for a player Kaizer Chiefs recently signed, with interim coach Cavin Johnson looking at the possibility of giving him a run.
Amakhosi are back in Premiership action this week after getting the weekend off due to Carling Knockout action. The time away gave Johnson an opportunity to work with the team, with a number of problem areas for the club being revealed in previous matches.

A player who is looking forward to getting a first opportunity in Amakhosi colours is Luke Fleurs, the former SuperSport United defender who was signed as a free agent a few weeks ago.
The Soweto giants have two home matches this week, first against Cape Town Spurs and then Soweto rivals Orlando Pirates at FNB Stadium. Fleurs could get an opportunity to feature in one of these matches and he will be hoping to get a chance in arguably the biggest game in South African football, the Soweto derby.
The defender has been training with the club and it's understood that his fitness levels have improved over the weeks, with the technical team working on him to ensure they have him available as one of the options in defence.
Amakhosi have invested heavily in their defence this season, with the likes of Fleurs, Given Msimango and Thatayaone Ditlhokwe, and are hoping that this will help in improving where they finish at the end of the campaign.
