Blow for Orlando Pirates as Mabasa joins growing injury list ahead of Royal AM clash

Premier Soccer League giants Orlando Pirates have announced that Tshegofatso Mabasa has joined the club's growing injury list ahead of the clash with Royal AM.

The Buccaneers are set to resume their PSL campaign when they welcome Thwihli Thwahla at the 2010 Fifa World Cup training ground, Orlando Stadium, in Soweto on Saturday.

They are coming off a morale-boosting 1-0 win over Congo-Brazzaville outfit Diables Noirs on Sunday which saw Pirates advance to the play-off round of the Caf Confederation Cup.

Mabasa featured as a substitute against Diables in the second round first-leg match which was played at Orlando Stadium, where the Buccaneers won the tie 1-0 on aggregate.
