Orlando Pirates co-coach Mandla Ncikazi is concerned with the team's injury list ahead of the Soweto derby this weekend.
Pirates got back to winning ways in the DStv Premiership after rallying from behind to defeat to Sekhukhune United 1-0 at Orlando Stadium.
However, the Buccaneers were already without the services of Happy Jele and also lost Olisa Ndah to injury in the 70th minute.
"We have a lot of challenges, without making excuses I know in every team it happens. But in our team it's extra-ordinary. You can make a list of a new team out of injuries. But God being God every reason, pre-destination, we don't know why it's happening like it's happening," The Pirates coach told SuperSport after the game.
"I'm just happy that today it was not as bad. I'm hoping that Ndah is ok because you can see what's happening at the back. We lost Jele, now Ndah is doubtful. But hey, it is what it is. Let's move to the next match. The most important match in the PSL calendar.
"I'm just happy that we won today with every adversity that we faced. Let's look to the next one.
"The subconscious mind is very bad because when you see what has happened before you resort to a default position and we didn't want our team to go into panic mode.
"And I think it helped us today. We continued playing the way we play. If you are possession based and you want to use possession to create chances don't change now because you have fallen behind. You need the patience and against a low block they are waiting for one ball. Make one mistake and they will punish you. I think we did well second half in handling them in their counter-attacks."
