Orlando Pirates will probably be without Richard Ofori, Wayne Sandilands, Innocent Maela, Happy Jele, Zakhele Lepasa and Thembinkosi Lorch.

“Please forgive me if I forget some, that’s how much we have in terms of injuries,” Ncikazi said in a pre-match presser.

“Ofori is still out, Sandilands is recovering from an injury, Maela is still out, Jele is out, he has done his operation. Lepasa is going through rehab and Lorch is also going through rehab.

“This is like a whole team list that is on the outside without complaining, we just take predestination and assume is that how it happens? Why so many? But it happens in every club, it’s something extraordinary but we’re going to go through and maybe good things are going to follow after the injuries.”

But it happens in every club, it’s something extraordinary but we’re going to go through and maybe good things are going to follow after the injuries.

“[What our injury situation at the club] has taught us is that we must make all the players ready… and the players that have played recently have shown that they can take the team forward in the absence of the injured ones,” Ncikazi continued.

“The nature in which we played against Sekhukhune gave us confidence but as I said we are playing Chiefs, in the biggest derby in the country with the most formidable attack, great transition game and set pieces, we just have to be careful and play the correct game ann ensure we don’t lose the ball in wrong areas because they can be deadly and we all know that.”

“I am also one of [the debutants], it is a new experience. Like Bernard [Parker] just said, you even see the difference in training, the preparedness, the healing from players that have been injured, it already sets the tone that is the biggest match in the PSL fixture,” he added.

“The players look ready. You’ll never know how ready you are for the Derby. It’s what happens on the day of the match that will determine the outcome.”

Chiefs injuries updates

“Samir Nurković is the only one who’s not [back in training] – he’s got a long way ahead of him,” the 68-year-old added.

“Leo Castro is back in training, without being available. Dumisani Zuma’s back in training, but hasn’t played any minutes yet.

“Lebo Manyama, Siya Ngezana [are also out] and now also Hlanti. They’re all possible big hitters, but you do the best you can.”
