Brilliant Khuzwayo Still Yet To Make Pirates Debut

Brilliant Khuzwayo Still Yet To Make Pirates Debut

Brilliant Khuzwayo is still missing from action after he was again left out of Orlando Pirates' 18-man travelling squad for tomorrow's CAF Champions League first round tie away to African Stars.

The goalkeeper has been struggling with a recurring ankle injury and is yet to make his official debut for the club he joined from rivals Kaizer Chiefs at the start of the 2018/19 season as a free agent.

He recently took to Twitter to address concerns over whether he would ever return to action, saying he had been advised to take his time in his recovery – or risk a permanent injury.

Pirates face Stars at the Sam Nujoma Stadium in Namibia tomorrow afternoon at 4pm in the second leg of their Champions League clash and need a score draw – at the very least – to progress to the group stages of the competition.

Stars were resilient at Orlando Stadium last weekend and held the Buccaneers to a surprise goalless draw, making the return fixture a must-win out in Windhoek.

The South African side will look to key players Vincent Pule, Thembinkosi Lorch, Justin Shonga and Augustine Mulenga to get them through.

Full 18-man squad travelling to Namibia, as confirmed to the Siya crew by the club, is as follows:

Goalkeeper:Jackson Mabokgwane, Siyabonga Mpontshane

Defenders:Abbubaker Mobara, Innocent Maela, Marshall Munetsi, Happy Jele, Asavela Mbekile, Paseka Mako

Midfielders:Musa Nyatama, Linda Mntambo, Vincent Pule, Thembinkosi Lorch, Xola Mlambo, Mpho Makola, Thabo Qalinge

Strikers:Augustine Mulenga, Justin Shonga, Thamsanqa Gabuza
