Bucs coach happy he has a greater squad to rely on, but won't reveal his picks
Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro would not confirm if Thembinkosi Lorch and new signings Makhehlene Makhaula and Souaibou Marou will be available for their big game against Mamelodi Sundowns, despite them training with the team.Lorch has not featured for Pirates since August after sustaining a serious knee injury while Makhaula and Souaibou signed for the Soweto giants over the past two weeks.
Riveiro was reluctant to talk about the new players at a media conference at Rand Stadium on Wednesday or even say if they are in contention for selection against Masandawana. Riveiro said the Brazilians will provide a good test for his formative squad and game plan, to see where Bucs are and need to to improve.
“So it’s going to be a good test for both and one of us is not going to be happy at the end of the game because we are both teams that don’t play for a draw.
