The 32-year old collected his fourth yellow card of the season during Pirates’ victory against the same opponents in the Telkom Knockout over the weekend, therefore he is suspended for this clash.

Jele has played every minute of every match for Bucs so far this season and his absence will come as a blow for coach Rulani Mokwena and Pirates.
Jele’s absence could mean a recall for Alfred Ndengane in the middle of defence alongside Ntsikelelo Nyauza, who partnered Jele in the game against Stellies last Saturday.
Meanwhile, veteran goalkeeper Wayne Sandilands is expected to keep his place in goals, with Joris Delle relegated to the bench.
