Pirates welcome the Urban Warriors at the Orlando Stadium on Saturday night.
The Buccaneers’ medical doctor released an injury update on injured players.
“Mpho Makola is doubtful for the cup clash tomorrow as he continues to receive treatment on a back injury. According to the Bucs medical team, it’s unlikely that the 31-year old will recover in time for the match,” read a statement from the club’s website.
“The absence of both Nyatama [suspension] and Makola is exacerbated by the injury to Abbubaker Mobara who is also still undergoing rehabilitation with the strength and conditioning team.
“Fortunately for the Pirates Technical Team, newly signed midfielder Xola Mlambo is available for selection amongst others.
“Other players still receiving treatment for their respective injuries/knocks are: Thabo Qalinge, Marc Van Heerden and Gladwin Shitolo,” added the club statement.
