With Edmilson Dove set to miss this weekend's Soweto Derby against Orlando Pirates, there are three other Kaizer Chiefs stars who face the possibility of watching the big game from the stands.
Dove was sent off against Moroka Swallows over the weekend after bringing down Gabadinho Mhango as the last man in defence, ruling him out of what will be an important clash in the Premiership against the Buccaneers this weekend.

Interim coach Cavin Johnson will have some big decisions to make when Chiefs take on Golden Arrows tomorrow evening, with three players sitting on three yellow cards going into the clash set to be played at FNB Stadium.
All of Yusuf Maart, Pule Mmodi and Edson Castillo are sitting on three yellow cards and will be ruled out of the derby if they are booked against the KZN outfit tomorrow.
All three players featured against Swallows over the weekend and are key figures in Amakhosi's line-up, so Johnson will have to decide if he rests them or takes the risk of fielding these individuals, knowing that they could miss out this Saturday.
Amakhosi already have so many problems to deal with and the last thing they want is to be without their key players for the clash against Pirates who have enjoyed a better run this year than their rivals.

What's challenging for Johnson is that he cannot afford to get a negative result against Arrows, so he is forced to put out a strong line-up to try to get Amakhosi's first victory of 2024 in all competitions.
