“The boy is doing well in training and getting along with his teammates. He should be ready when the coach decides to give him a run to help the team,” said an insider.
Indications from the Bucs camp are that some of the players who have been missing from action in recent weeks could be in contention for this round of fixtures, with Olisa Ndah believed to be nearing full fitness after recovering from injury. Sandile Mthethwa and Thembinkosi Lorch are also expected to make the matchday squads for upcoming matches.
Unfortunately, Bucs captain Innocent Maela will miss the cup clash due to suspension, having picked up his fourth yellow card of the season.
