Orlando Pirates have fueled speculation that Brilliant Khuzwayo could be heading for the exit door after the club released a list of 31 players with their shirt numbers for the new season.
Khuzwayo is the only player missing from the list, meaning he has not been allocated a shirt number by the club.
Last season, the 29-year-old was handed the No.1 jersey, but it has now been given to French goalkeeper and new signing Joris Delle.

Khuzwayo used the No.16 jersey at Kaizer Chiefs, but there is no hope of wearing it at the Buccaneers as the jersey has been handed to former Bloemfontein Celtic striker Tshegofatso Mabasa.
