Orlando Pirates head into their Betway Premiership clash with Chippa United facing a major squad selection headache.
The Buccaneers will take on Chippa United on Sunday, 16 August at 15:00, but they are set to be without several important players due to injury.
Pirates dealing with injury concerns
Thalente Mbatha and Evidence Makgopa remain sidelined with long-term injuries, while Tshepang Moremi and Sihle Nduli are doubts for the encounter.
The match is scheduled to be broadcast live on DStv Channel 202.
Possible Orlando Pirates starting XI
With several midfield options unavailable, Pirates could be forced into a reshuffled lineup.
Predicted XI:
Chaine; Sebelebele, Seema, Sibisi, Ndaba; Dansin, Mthiyane; Kgositsile, Maswanganyi, Appollis; Mbuthuma.
The big question is whether this combination will get the nod when the Buccaneers face the Chilli Boys.
Pirates begin a new era
The upcoming campaign has already brought significant changes to the Orlando Pirates squad, with a number of players departing the club.
Among the confirmed exits are Relebohile Mofokeng, Tshegofatso Mabasa, Sipho Mbule, Bandile Shandu, Thabiso Sesane, Thabiso Lebitso, Blessing Ngiba, Seth Green, Sonwabo Khumalo, Gomolemo Khoto, Siyabonga Ndlozi and Selaelo Rasebotja.
With injuries adding to the selection problems, Pirates could field a very different-looking side against Chippa.
