Manyama, who scored the match’s only goal, received a knock to his calf against the Buccaneers, and Castro, who came down with a knock to his back, will also be available for the crunch tie against Usuthu.

Both players were involved in the team’s training on Wednesday and Thursday at the Naturena Village.

The only massive injury blow the Glamour Boys are faced with, is that of combative veteran midfielder Willard Katsande who hurt his ligament in the inner part of his knee.

Katsande, 34, who has been Chiefs’ vital cog in the middle of the park, could be ruled out of competitive action till May, as ligaments can take up to at least a month to eight weeks to heal.
