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.
