Orlando Pirates will have to contend with a number of fitness concerns when they return to Betway Premiership action against Durban City after two weeks of CAF Champions League football.
The defending champions host Durban City at the Amstel Arena this evening looking to keep pace with early table-toppers Mamelodi Sundowns. Pirates are second with 13 points from five matches and can cut the gap to Sundowns, who have collected 20 points from their opening eight fixtures.
According to Orlando Pirates' official website, Thalente Mbatha, Evidence Makgopa, Sihle Nduli, and Mohau Nkota remain unavailable for selection as they continue their recovery from injury.
The Buccaneers are also monitoring the fitness of Gamphani Lungu and Andre de Jong, with both players set to undergo late fitness tests to determine whether they will be available for tonight's encounter.
While the injury list presents a challenge, Pirates will be hoping the players available can deliver a positive result and maintain their strong start to the league campaign.
