In the meantime, the club has confirmed that Tapelo Xoki and Bandile Shandu will not be ready for tonight’s match.
“The coming weeks could also see the likes of Bandile Shandu and Tapelo Xoki making their return to the match day squad as they continue to make strides in their match readiness,” Orlando Pirates reported.
ARTHUR ZWANE WARNING
AmaZulu FC are preparing for the mighty Orlando Pirates, and new co-coach Arthur Zwane has sent an early warning to the Sea Robbers.
Following a 2-1 loss to Stellenbosch FC in his debut match in the Carling Knockout last week, coach Zwane sounds excited to face Orlando Pirates.
“We want our players to play without fear, you can’t be in the Premier League and have fear to win games,” said Zwane via FARPost.
“We can beat anyone. Stellenbosch, with the quality team that they have, last week they were playing the final and they did very well.
“We gave them a thing or two to learn from us also. It wasn’t a walk in the park for them.
“When you look at where we come from and where we are right now, anyone could have said, ‘No, Stellenbosch are through already’.
“As much as they are through, they had to dig deep for them to go through to the next round,” Zwane concluded.
