Eric Tinkler and his technical team could decide to give young Menzi Masuku the responsibility of replacing Oupa Manyisa in the game for Orlando Pirates against Al Ahly on the weekend.

The Buccaneers are preparing for the CAF Confederation Cup first leg semi-final game with the Egyptian giants without Manyisa in their plans.
'Ace' has been ruled out for the important game, after fracturing his distal fibula during the 0-0 draw with Polokwane City in the league on Tuesday.
Tinkler replaced Manyisa with Masuku when the Bafana Bafana international was carried off the field on a stretcher at the Peter Mokaba Stadium last night.
With Pirates having confirmed that Manyisa is unavailable for the weekend's game, Tinkler and his technical bench are likely to use the team's upcoming training sessions this week to prepare Masuku for a full time role in Bucs midfield for the CAF game.

From the other players that started on the bench against Polokwane, Thabo Rakhale and Thabo Qalinge could be some of the options for Pirates as Tinkler will be expected to work on making adjustments to the side with a view to get better results.
