Orlando Pirates have shared good news about one of the team's stars ahead of the cup final, while there are still doubts over the other as the club finalizes preparations for the weekend's much-anticipated match.
The Buccaneers will face off against AmaZulu in the final of the MTN8 at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday and while the club has confirmed that Vincent Pule is back in full training with the rest of his teammates, there are still concerns regarding defender and captain Innocent Maela.

Maela was forced out in the first half of last weekend's Soweto Derby after picking up a hamstring injury and while Bucs' medical team has been working tirelessly to get the left back ready for the AmaZulu match, there are still doubts over his fitness.
Good news for the Soweto giants though, is that Miguel Timm is available for selection after missing the Kaizer Chiefs match due to suspension.
"Midfielder Miguel Timm is available for selection, following his brief absence enforced by suspension. The midfielder is one of a few players that could find themselves back in the match day squad after being sidelined along with Vincent Pule, who is back at full training after recovering from injury," Pirates confirmed on the club's website in their preview of the match.
