Jaco Kriel will make his return when the Sigma Lions travel to Bloemfontein to take on the Toyota Cheetahs on Wednesday. Kriel, who has previously captained the Lions, will make his 51st appearance for the Joburg-based side when he takes to the field tomorrow night.

Emmanuel Tshituka also returns from injury.
