Qalinge back for Bucs, Rakhale still out

The speedy winger is back with the rest of the squad after being out of action for over month, while teammate Thabo Rakhale is yet to recover.

“Qalinge, who has had a long layoff due to a combination of back and hamstring pain, has returned to full training for the first time in over a month,” read a statement on the club’s website.

“Rakhale, who has been out for almost the same time as Qalinge, continues to undergo rehabilitation on his hamstring injury under the watchful eye of Biokineticist Stephen Plummer.”

The club also announced that Riyaad Norodien has a stubbed toe, Ayanda Gcaba has an ankle strain, while Ntsikelelo Nyauza and Tendai Ndoro are suffering from mild hamstrings.

The Buccaneers will be back in action when they take on Free State Stars at the James Motlatsi Stadium on April 1.
