Nasreddine Nabi has dropped a hint on what could be a change for attacker Wandile Duba, who netted a brace as Kaizer Chiefs returned to winning ways against Stellenbosch FC.
Chiefs battled from behind to secure a 2-1 win over Stellenbosch at FNB Stadium on Wednesday evening, courtesy of a Duba brace.

Stellies had taken the lead in the 20th minute via Khomotjo Lekoloane.
Chiefs equalised through a corner-kick set-piece when Thatayaone Ditlhokwe headed the ball towards goal for Duba to direct it to the back of the net.
For the latter, the two goals take his tally up to four goals this season, level with Mduduzi Shabalala.
It was the first time this campaign that Duba had been deployed as an out-and-out striker, a role he flourished in during his time with the reserves, and perhaps his most natural.
Under previous head coach Cavin Johnson and Nabi, he has been played as a winger.
However, the current coach has revealed he is open to playing the youngster up front if the goals keep coming.
"If he continues, if he continues to score goals, then he will play there," Nabi told journalists in the post-match press conference.
Duba himself had previously revealed that his target in 2024/25 is to find the back of the net on a regular basis.

"Yes, the main aim for the season is to score goals and maybe even fight for the Young Player of the Season award," Duba responded when asked by KickOff.com earlier this season.
The 20-year-old may get his next chance to stake a claim for the number nine role when Amakhosi take on Golden Arrows at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Sunday.
