Pirates have injury worries
Orlando Pirates face a number of injury
worries ahead of their MTN8 semifinal with SuperSport United on Sunday.
Most worrying for Buccaneer fans will be
star striker Benni McCarthy. who has missed training this week and is a major
doubt.
They will already be without forward Ndumiso
Mabena, whose hamstring injury means he will be missing for the next three
weeks.
Augusto Palacios will also be sweating over
the fitness of midfielders Andile Jali and Manti Moholo, who have ankle and
hamstring problems respectively.
The squad has also been hit by flu this
week, with Robyn Johannes, Moeneeb Josephs, Daine Klate and Mpho Makola all
battling.
National team coach Gordon Igesund will
also be keeping an eye on Jali especially as he looks to select his squad for
the friendly international in Brazil on September 7.
