Bidvest Wits are set to miss the services of a number of key players when they take on Mamelodi Sundowns in the Nedbank Cup semi-final this weekend.
The 2019/20 season's resumption has not kicked off just yet and Wits coach Gavin Hunt already faces a selection headache prior to Saturday evening's clash at Orlando Stadium.

The Clever Boys promoted eight players from their reserve team last week as they look to alleviate the effects of the rushed return from a four-month break due to the coronavirus pandemic, and some of them could well be roped in as early as against Sundowns.
"[Ricardo] Goss is out because he's still suspended, Brandon [Petersen] – the other goalkeeper – is out as well, so it's either I'm going to play in goals or [club director and ex-CEO] Jose Ferreira," said Hunt during a press briefing on Thursday.

"But ja, Brighton [Mhlongo] will play on Saturday and we've obviously brought our Diski goalkeeper up, which I haven't seen much of but we've put him in as well.
"Thabang [Monare] is struggling a little bit, Gift [Motupa] is struggling a little bit, [Mxolisi] Macuphu got hijacked this week, so I don't know – they stole everything and his car, so he's had a problem.
"[Elias] Pelembe hasn't come back [from Mozambique], and obviously we had quite a few players that tested positive [for Covid-19] and they just came back this week. Otherwise we'll have a team out, don't worry."
