Khama Billiat and Siphiwe Tshabalala are likely to face Mamelodi Sundowns in their 2018-19 PSL opening clash despite injury scares, according to Chiefs’ communication manager Vina Maphosa.

The Soweto giants confirmed that Tshabalala and Billiat picked up respective knocks in their final pre-season match against Cape Town City in Mbombela on Saturday afternoon, where they succumbed to a 1-0 loss a courtesy of a second-half strike by Craig Martin.
