Local CAF Confederation Cup envoys Green Mamba have suffered a huge blow ahead of the crucial Preliminary Round return leg against Primero de Agosto.
The green and white ensemble will be without three key players: Njabulo ‘D4D’ Ndlovu, Banele ‘Pupu’ Sikhondze and prolific striker Sabelo ‘Sikhali’ Ndzinisa during the return leg.
The seasoned trio are currently nursing injuries. 
This was revealed by the Correctional Services side Head Coach Mthunzi Ginindza during their farewell function held at Sigcwaca House on Thursday.
The return leg will take place on Friday in Luanda.
“We are looking forward to the match where we will be without three players who are injured.
I am confident that the team will make the country proud by overturning the two-goal deficit and reach the next round,” he said.
‘Inyoka Eluhlazana’ needs to score three goals to advance to the next round following their 2-0 home loss to the Luanda-based side.
