Mamelodi Sundowns duo Arthur Sales and Marcelo Allende will lead the Carling All Star team when it faces Orlando Pirates in the Carling Cup at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday.
Allende and Sales were voted into the squad by fans and will come up against Pirates, who lifted the Carling Knockout trophy this past Saturday after defeating Marumo Gallants in the final—claiming their second major domestic title of the season.
Joining Allende and Sales in the starting line-up are fellow Sundowns players Vincent Sithole and Thabo Nkabinde, both voted in from the DStv Diski Challenge side.
Kaizer Chiefs have four representatives: goalkeeper Brandon Petersen, highly rated youngster Mfundo Vilakazi, DDC standout Thulani Mabaso and Naledi Hlongwane, who scored twice in last year’s final for Magesi when the Limpopo side entered as defending champions.
Other players selected for the Carling All Star starting XI include Siwelele’s Keabetswe Khonyane, Sekhukhune United’s Sikhosonke Langa and Phillip Ndlondlo, who played in the Carling Knockout final for Gallants but ended on the losing side against Pirates.
The coaches for the All Star team will be announced in due course.
