Mathoho, who has missed just one of Amakhosi's 13 games across all competitions thus far, is suspended for the TKO clash after he was red-carded in a league match against Orlando Pirates a fortnight ago.
"I think everyone is ready to play; everyone will put their hands up. It's an opportunity for someone to step in. "It's unfortunate that Mathoho is suspended; we've been making a good bond and playing together very well," said Cardoso. "But we've got the likes of Lorenzo Gordinho, Yagan Sasman... we have cover in all the positions, so we do the same things at training as we do in a game. I mean, when we played Chippa United, we made eight changes and it didn't really affect us. As long as we stick to our game plan, I think everything we'll be fine."
While Bruce Bvuma should start in Daniel Akpeyi's place in goal, versatile Sasman, who's been mainly used as left-back, is likely to be drifted to partner Cardoso in the central defence role ahead of out-of-favour Gordinho.
