The 29-year-old has been out for close to two months now and while there has been no official word from the club on the timeframe, indications are that the star is still unavailable for competitive football action.

Whether or not Lorch will be back before the World Cup remains to be seen, as Bucs will be left with two matches in the league against Golden Arrows and Kaizer Chiefs, respectively, as well as their MTN8 campaign before the break.
