Key Orlando Pirates star to miss the Nedbank Cup final?

Some woeful news for Orlando Pirates fans, who must do without a key match-winner in the Nedbank Cup final against Sekhukhune.

 

Thembinkosi Lorch is likely to miss the rest of the season, including the Nedbank Cup final, a source at Orlando Pirates has revealed to Phakaaathi.

Lorch has missed the Buccaneers’ last three games, including the Soweto Derby win over Kaizer Chiefs in extra time. Pirates booked their place in the Nedbank Cup final thanks to a late strike from Sandile Mthethwa. Lorch was injured in training a few weeks ago and the issue has turned out to be more serious than initially thought.

An insider in the Bucs camp believes Lorch’s injury is serious and he has to be out of action for some time.

“Nyoso (Lorch) has been struggling with injuries since the start of the season. He missed a lot of games in the first round. He came back, did well for the club and we were all happy to see him returning to the team because when he is not there you can see it. The fans see it, even our opponents are able to see it,” said the source.

“He is just unlucky with injuries this season and it seems like he is going to be out for some time. I don’t think he will be able to play the remaining games. But coach Jose Riveiro has a back-up plan, he knows how to use his players. If Lorch is not there, there is always someone else who can do the job.”
