Marshall Munetsi will miss Orlando Pirates’ opening game of 2019 due suspension.

Pirates play Highlands Park on Saturday as the Absa Premiership returns after a two-week break.

Munetsi received a red card during the Telkom Knockout final against Baroka FC in December.

He served his first match of the ban before the league went to the break.

Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs’ Khama Billiat will face his former club Mamelodi Sundowns on the same day while Charlton Mashumba and Rodwell Chinyengetere are both inline for their first appearances at Polokwane City and Baroka FC respectively.
