Orlando Pirates have provided an injury update ahead of their Betway Premiership clash against Durban City on Thursday evening.

The Buccaneers are set to welcome the Citizens to Orlando Amstel Arena, with the match scheduled to kick off at 19:30. 

Pirates will enter the encounter aiming to maintain their strong run of form and extend their league winning streak to four matches.

However, the Soweto giants will have to contend with several injury absences. The club confirmed that Thalente Mbatha, Evidence Makgopa, Sihle Nduli and Mohau Nkota remain sidelined as they continue their respective recoveries.

There is also uncertainty surrounding the availability of Gamphani Lungu and Andre de Jong. But according to the club, both players will undergo late fitness tests before a final decision is made on whether they can feature against Durban City.

The Citizens, meanwhile, will be determined to put together a positive result and build confidence as they look to make their mark in the Premiership.
