A total of 25 players will not see action with Highlanders, Dynamos, Caps United and Hwange contributing a total of 11 players while relegation threatened police side Black Mambas have the highest number of suspensions, with four players sitting out their match against fellow strugglers Blue Rangers. Authorities at the side should be worried about the disciplinary issues at the club, especially for a police outfit.
On Sunday Bosso coach Kelvin Kaindu is likely to unleash a new twin strikers' formation with Mkhokheli Dube set to make his "home debut" and would be partnered by Graham Ncube in what is expected to be one of the most feared partnerships in the second half had the 2011 Soccer Star of the Year finalist not been suspended for the game. Young Ozias Zibande or Beavan Chikaka are likely to be thrown into the fray.
Highlanders will miss the services of midfield maestro Mthulisi Maphosa, exciting right back Atlast Musasa and chief striker Graham Ncube.
Highlanders' opponents on Sunday, Quelaton, would not have wanted to troop into Barbourfields Stadium without first choice goalkeeper Winston Chiwetu and former Under-20 international Proud Zireni.
The league had taken a two-week break at the same time allowing reigning champions Dynamos to catch up with the rest of the teams as they were three games behind following the postponement of their matches against Highlanders, Caps United and FC Platinum.
For Bulawayo soccer lovers, action starts on Saturday when Chicken Inn play host to Harare City at Luveve Stadium where a win for the Adam Ndlovu-coached boys will take them to second spot on the log, four points behind Highlanders.
On Sunday it will be derby time again when Highlanders play host to Quelaton who bravely held them to a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture a fortnight ago.
With DeMbare taking no prisoners, Bosso will be under pressure to start collecting maximum points and scoring heavily if they want to maintain their seemingly fading grip at the top. Bosso have collected just 11 points out of a possible 21 in the last seven games while no victory has been achieved in their last two games which they drew by identical 1-1 scorelines.
What makes Highlanders' situation even more precarious is that their rivals in the championship race have been picking up maximum points and in the process closing in on them.
