Orlando Pirates are set to face a tough test this week as they will be without two of their key players due to suspension. Captain Innocent Maela and Nkosinathi Sibisi have both been influential for Bucs this season and their absence will be felt by the team.
The Buccaneers lost to Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday, with Maela receiving a red card and Sibisi picking up his fourth yellow card of the season, meaning he will be unavailable against Swallows on Friday.
Olisa Ndah has finally recovered and made his long-awaited return as a substitute against Chiefs, and is likely to start in the next match. Another option for Jose Riveiro’s side would be to have a look at Sandile Mthethwa, who has been on the bench a few times this season.
