Between now and 29 December, Orlando Pirates' squad depth will be put to the ultimate test as the club faces a packed schedule, with eight crucial continental and domestic matches.
Pirates will take on CR Belouizdad, Stellenbosch, Marumo Gallants, Al Ahly, Golden Arrows, Stade d'Abidjan, Sekhukhune United and Magesi FC.
However, the team is still without three players who are undergoing rehabilitation for long-term injuries: Goodman Mosele, Zakhele Lepasa, and Olisa Ndah. Their recovery progress will be closely monitored as Pirates look to strengthen their squad for the tough weeks ahead.
