Zinnbauer responds to Orlando Pirates' need for a 'top striker'

The 50-year-old is hoping that Mabasa makes his return from injury soon, with Bucs set to face Swallows FC in the MTN8 clash on August 14

Orlando Pirates head coach Josef Zinnbauer is desperate to find a solution to their crisis in the striking department.

The German tactician watched as his team created goalscoring opportunities which they failed to convert in their defeat to Kaizer Chiefs in the Carling Black Label Cup on Sunday.

With strikers Tshegofatso Mabasa and Zakhele Lepasa nursing long-term injuries, Frank Mhango remains Pirates' only fit first-team centre-forward.
