Lorch and Mosele doubtful for Soweto derby

Orlando Pirates have given an injury update ahead of Saturday’s Soweto Derby against Kaizer Chiefs.

Thembinkosi Lorch and Goodman Mosele are doubtful for the clash, while Nkosinathi Sibisi and Richard Ofori will miss out.

“Goodman Mosele and Thembinkosi Lorch each left the field prematurely over the last two games and might not feature, joining the likes of Nkosinathi Sibisi and Richard Ofori on the sidelines,” read a statement from Pirates. 

Bucs coach José Riveiro will once again be absent from the bench as he sits out the last game in his red-card suspension.

The Spanish coach was shown a red card for using foul language in Pirates’ 2-0 win over Motsepe Foundation Championship side All Stars.

He missed Bucs’ clash against Maritzburg United, which Pirates won 1-0.

Meanwhile, Chiefs have injury worries of their own, with Dillan Solomons and Nkosingiphile Ngcobo both expected to miss the derby.
