Orlando Pirates will be without last season’s top goal scorer Gabadinho Mhango for this weekend’s Soweto derby in the MTN8 semi-final second leg, while Terrence Dzuvukamanja, Thembinkosi Lorch and Thulani Hlatshwayo remain a doubt.
The Malawian striker missed the first leg last week as Zakhele Lepasa into replace him and hit the back of the net in a resounding 3-0 win over their fierce rival.
“Gabadinho Mhango is ruled out, he is definitely not available,” Davids told the media.
“We still awaiting Tyson, Lorch and Dzvukamanja. We’ll get the reports later in the day and we will make a decision to do a late fitness test or not”
Lorch (knee) and Dzvukamanja (head) suffered injuries in Pirates’ 1-0 win over Bloemfontein Celtic in midweek, and at the time Davids admitted that ‘it did not look good.’ Hlatshwayo meanwhile, missed the match completely.
