Orlando Pirates have provided an update on two senior players who have been long-term absentees from the team's line-ups as the club is finalising preparations for their CAF Confederation Cup match this weekend.
Following their emphatic win over AmaZulu last weekend in the Nedbank Cup, the Buccaneers have changed focus to the continental competition and will be facing Algeria outfit JS Saoura at Orlando Stadium on Sunday.
With the Soweto giants having gone for the better part of the first round of the season without the services of influential winger Vincent Pule and goalkeeper Richard Ofori, the club has confirmed that both players are back in training although they are unlikely to feature in the Confederation Cup.
“The Buccaneers will likely be without midfielder Vincent Pule and goalkeeper Richard Ofori, who have both resumed training but are not expected to feature in the clash,” Pirates confirmed on their official website.
Pule has been out of action since October 2021 after picking up an injury while on international duty with the South African senior national team, while Ofori was also injured on national team duty with Ghana against Bafana Bafana in September and has been out since.
