Orlando Pirates have welcomed the return of one of their influential players ahead of their CAF Confederation Cup encounter against LRPC Oilers.
Pirates face off against the Liberian champions in the first leg of the final play-off before the group stage – which they are looking to qualify in for the consecutive season.
The Soweto giants come into the tie full of confidence after their morale-boosting 3-0 victory over Stellenbosch in the DStv Premiership in mid-week while they face LRPC who dropped to the second-tier tournament after being thrashed by Botola Pro giants Raja Athletic Club 4-0 on aggregate.
Utility man Abel Mabaso will be available for selection after being ineligible for their previous round of fixtures while Ben Motswari could also feature after being pictured within their travelling squad in their final training session.
The continental encounter will take place at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex in Paynesville on Sunday (18h00).
