Orlando Pirates coach Micho Sredojevic has ruled out a Soweto Derby appearance for goalkeeper Brilliant Khuzwayo.
It had appeared as though the 28-year-old could be the surprise inclusion between the sticks for the Buccaneers when they face rivals Kaizer Chiefs at FNB Stadium in a top of the table Absa Premiership clash on Saturday given his return to action for the club's reserve side.

But, speaking to the media on Thursday afternoon, the Pirates mentor said Khuzwayo was still some way from playing first-team football.
"I would say we have a clean bill of health so to speak, with the exception of Brilliant Khuzwayo. The nature of this match is such that even when injured the players would still want to be part of it. But Brilliant still needs to get proper clearance – the rest are fully in contention," Sredojevic said.
Khuzwayo joined Pirates from Chiefs at the start of the 2018/19 season but has yet to make his official debut because of a niggling ankle injury.
