A player on the verge of suspension, Orlando Pirates..

 

 

 

Thabang Monare, Olisa Ndah, Thabiso Lebitso, and Bandile Shandu are just one yellow card away from suspension. If any of them receive a caution against Sundowns, they will not be able to participate in the Nedbank Cup Round of 32 on February 24. The opponents of the Buccaneers in that game are still up in the air.

On Saturday, February 17, Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates will play, with Thembinkosi Lorch potentially playing against his former team. Three weeks ago, Lorch traded Pirates for Sundowns. Rulani Mokwena, the Downs coach, was rather mum on the subject when he spoke on Radio 2000.

“Lorch is working with the team much like the other players, and he appears to be in good health.”
