Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has provided an injury update ahead of Saturday’s MTN8 final against Mamelodi Sundowns.
The Buccaneers have been without several key players in recent weeks due to injuries, with Evidence Makgopa, Thalente Mbatha, Mohau Nkota, Makhehleni Makhaula, Kabelo Dlamini and Andre De Jong among those sidelined.
The good news for Pirates is that all six players have returned to training as preparations for the final continue.
However, it remains unclear whether any of the returning players will recover sufficiently to feature against Sundowns on Saturday.
“Look, what I can tell you is that they are in good shape, they are coming back,” said Ouaddou.
“We are doing everything and the medical department, performance department are doing everything for them to be available for the next games.
“For now, I cannot tell you more about these players. It’s very good news for us to see them on the field and to train with us.
“I cannot go for the next game. Maybe you will see the next couple of games.”
