Swallows Coach Confirms Blow Ahead Of Pirates Visit

Swallows Coach Confirms Blow Ahead Of Pirates Visit

"It's going to be a different and difficult game, but we also have had our own in-house challenges as far as health and injuries are concerned," Truter said.

"My injury list has Virgil Vries, Thabo Matlaba, Yagan Sasman, Wandisile Letlabika, Keletso Makgalwa, Lebohang Mokoena, and Tebogo Langerman – that's a long list, with no left backs. The medical team is working around the clock to get them fit. Out of that list, two are definitely not available. But we are Swallows and we will go there with arrogance and play on the front foot all the time. And we also have to prepare someone to play left back this weekend."  

Truter said one of the reasons why he was so eager to get to the FIFA break was due to their congested fixture schedule even if it's early days.

"Leading up to the international break, I was one of the coaches that actually welcomed it because of the amount of games we played before – three games in eight days. The amount of travelling we did as well, which came with injuries from the last game against Cape Town City. There's been some health scares with international duty for Virgil Vries and we also have Wandisile Letlabika back, sort of, but then again Cheeseboy (Mokoena) is still a doubt from the injury he picked up against AmaZulu. It's a long list of injuries that we have, but we will be competitive with what's available to us," the coach added.
