Pirates get fitness boost
Orlando Pirates have received a boost
with the news that they will have a full squad to select from for their League
opener on Friday night.
The Buccaneers host Lamontville Golden
Arrows as they get the defence of their championship title under way and injury
worries over midfielder Oupa Manyisa and left-back Thabo Matlaba have dissipated.
“I initially thought Oupa’s injury was
serious but medical results suggest that it was nothing serious. He did some
work in the gym this morning with the rest of the guys and he seems to be okay,”
club physiotherapist John Williams said.
“He is doing normal training but we will
continue monitoring him, and see how he responds to training along the week –
the way he dislocated his elbow looked serious from where I was standing, but
he feels fine.”
