Boost for Orlando Pirates as goalkeepers Ofori, Mpontshane return from injury ahead of Raja Casablanca clash

The Buccaneers were forced to play their last continental match against Enyimba without a substitute gloveman

Orlando Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauerhas confirmed the return of goalkeepers Richard Ofori and Siyabonga Mpontshane from injury while saying long-term absentee attacker Thembinkosi Lorch “might” be available for Sunday’s Caf Confederation Cup quarter-final, second leg clash against Raja Casablanca.

The Soweto giants have been depleted in the goalkeeping department with Wayne Sandilands and Elson Sithole the only available goal minders.

But with Sithole not registered for the Confederation Cup, Sundowns were forced to travel to their final group match to Enyimba without a keeper on the bench.
