“Regarding Dube, after that injury he’s on very good road to come back and he’s in contention. He will travel with us to Seychelles and possibly get the match minutes,” Sredojevic told the media.

The Buccaneers are scheduled to play against Light Stars FC in the CAF Champions League in Seychelles on Wednesday before taking on Baroka FC in the Telkom Knockout final in Port Elizabeth on Saturday.
