Pienaar, who received his fourth yellow card in the 1-0 win over Kaizer Chiefs in the Telkom Knockout on Saturday, will serve an automatic one-match suspension for Tuesday’s clash against Mamelodi Sundowns.
Also missing the Sundowns clash is Gabadinho Mhango, who is still serving his ban for spitting on AmaZulu’s Michael Morton.
On Wednesday, Bloemfontein Celtic will be without Ndumiso Mabena when they meet Platinum Stars at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium.
Kaizer Chiefs will also travel to King Zwelithini Stadium to face AmaZulu without Wiseman Meyiwa, who got a red card against Wits this past weekend.
Polokwane City will also have to do without the services of their defender, Sibusiso Mbonani, when they host Maritzburg United at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium.
