Orlando Pirates captain Jele joins Lorch, Maela, Monare, Hotto, Monyane on injury list ahead of Libya assignment

Orlando Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauer is hoping for a "good result and a good game" despite missing key players ahead of Sunday's Caf Confederation Cup Group A match away at Al Ahli Benghazi at Martyrs of February Stadium.

The Buccaneers will be without captain Happy Jele, Innocent Maela, Thabang Monare, Deon Hotto and Thabiso Monyane as the injury woes add to a season where Pirates have been battling fitness issues especially upfront.

Vice captain Thulani Hlatshwayo was also an injury concern while Thembinkosi Lorch is still out but the coach is hoping he will make it for the match in Libya.
