Mamelodi Sundowns are set to miss one of their key players when they resume their Betway Premiership campaign next week.

Masandawana are set to face Orbit College in a league encounter scheduled for 19 January at Loftus Versfeld Stadium, with kick-off at 19:30.

The Brazilians are playing their fixture earlier in the week to accommodate their CAF Champions League commitments, after which they will prepare to host Sudanese side Al Hilal on Friday, 23 January.

Bafana Ba Style will be without Bafana Bafana midfielder Teboho Mokoena when they face the North West outfit.

Mokoena will serve the first of a two-match suspension following his red card in December’s league match against Siwelele.

The 28-year-old will also miss Sundowns’ next league match against Sekhukhune United on 27 January.
