Pirates explain Khuzwayo’s Carling Cup snub

This is according to Orlando Pirates administrative officer Floyd Mbele.

Pirates’ decision to withdraw the former Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper from Saturday’s clash against his former club caused a bit of a stare considering that Pirates had earlier declared that he was fit to play.

“Look, withdrawing Khuzwayo from the starting line-up is just a precaution,” Mbele told Goal.

“The club will make an announcement regarding this tomorrow [Thursday],” he added.

Phakaaathi earlier reported that Khuzwayo might be released by Pirates owing to his long term injury.

A source told this website that Khuzwayo was advised by the Pirates management to take insurance package and retire, but the goalkeeper still wants to continue playing.
