Bafana Bafana's CHAN coach Helman Mkhalele could be forced to make changes to the goalkeeping department, with a Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper part of the squad at Chloorkop.
February has been named in the CHAN squad to face Egypt in a first leg qualifier this Friday, but it appears Sundowns will need him for tonight's Betway Premiership clash against Sekhukhune United. Indications are that he has travelled with Sundowns to Polokwane for the clash this evening, with Reyaad Pieterse there as well.

With Denis Onyango out serving suspension again, and Ronwen Williams still not available, February could start against Babina Noko this evening.
The former Ajax Cape Town goalkeeper was in goal when Sundowns hammered TS Galaxy 4-1 in the Premiership this past weekend and Miguel Cardoso looks set to give him another opportunity in goal in the absence of the two who are ahead of him in the pecking order.
Onyango is still not available and February is likely to be part of the Sundowns matchday squad this weekend against Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs.
