Gaston Sirino, Mosa Lebusa, Denis Onyango, Ricardo Nascimento and Andile Jali could miss the clash against Celtic as they are struggling with injuries.
“We have a few niggling injures, which is normal. When you come from a battle, you come out with wounded soldiers and deep scars,” Mosimane told the media.
“So we rested a few guys that are not yet back from injury. Sirino has a niggling injury, we don’t know if he’ll make it.
“Denis is training well, so hopefully he’s okay. Mosa has not started training, probably [soon] you never know. It’s just minor knocks when you come from a game, but nothing big.
“Ricardo has a wrist that’s also giving him problems, that’s why he’s been playing with a wrist band. But I don’t know, we should be okay by Saturday.”
