Platinum Stars will be without veteran striker Henrico Botes for their Absa Premiership clash against Mamelodi Sundowns at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium on Tuesday.

The 37-year-old striker will be suspended for the Absa Premiership encounter at Royal Bafokeng Stadium after he picked up a fourth yellow card during Dikwena’s goalless draw with Baroka.

Botes has managed to score just one goal and assisted one from 17 appearances in all competitions so far this season.

Meanwhile, Maritzburg United will also be without the services of defender Brian Onyango due to suspension ahead of their Absa Premiership clash against SuperSport United at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Wednesday.

However, Dikwena, Sundowns, SuperSport and Wits are all set to play their catch-up match in the PSL following their exploits in their respective Caf competitions over the weekend.
