Mamelodi Sundowns have named their starting line-up for this afternoon’s CAF Champions League Group A match against Al-Merrikh.
Masandawana are at the summit of Group A table with three points after they played one game so far and are looking to strengthen their lead this afternoon.
This will be the first meeting between the two teams in their history, and each will be keen to write a good record against each other.
The South African giants, though, will have to do it without the services of Gaston Sirino, Pavol Safranko and Gift Motupa who were ruled out through injury.
However there is a first start for new signing Erwin Saavedra.
The match is scheduled for this afternoon at the Al-Salam Stadium in Cairo (15h00).
Here is how they line up:
Al-Merrikh XI: Salman, Mohammed, Mahamoud, Taifour, Musa, Ahmed, Ali, Agab, Nooh, Omayarue, Mohamed
Sundowns XI: D. Onyango, B. Onyango, De Reuck, Lakay, Mudau, Coetzee, Jali, Saavedra, Ralani, Zwane, Shalulile.
Subs: Mweene, Morena, Modiba, Mvala, Kekana, Mokoena, Kapinga, Erasmus, Kutumela
