Zinnbauer issues update on Lorch's absence

Thembinkosi Lorch of Orlando Pirates

Orlando Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauer has provided an update on Thembinkosi Lorch after the star attacker missed the last two games for the Buccaneers.

The 27-year-old didn't play in their last two games after picking up an injury during their DStv Premiership encounter with SuperSport United last month.

'Lorch is on a good way, he has been working very well in the training sessions. We have to see now in the next two days what's happening with him,' Zinnbauer said in his virtual media conference after the match.

'I hope we get him back on Saturday, I have a good feeling in terms of him.'

'Zungu yesterday [Monday] fell on his arm and he had a swollen arm. He had light training today [Tuesday] but it was not enough for the game,' he added.

'Tomorrow [Wednesday] maybe he can go forward and might be available for Saturday.'
