The mind games are in full swing ahead of Saturday’s 3.30pm Soweto derby, as Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates looked to show who the tougher side is.
Ahead of the game Amakhosi boss Giovanni Solinas reveals that he is sweating on the fitness of his star attacking duo Khama Billiat and Leonardo Castro.
Castro has an ankle problem, while Billiat has back pain and coach Solinas says: “We have two more days to train and make the decision.
“These players [Billiat and Castro] are under observation. I don’t know, we wait. They are training with the team.”
But Bucs boss Micho hit back, saying his manne are raring to go for the 164th meeting between the two rivals whether they are injured or not.
The Serb says: “In these types of matches, whatever is paining me is not paining anymore. I’m not injured, I’m ready!”
