Orlando Pirates vs Al Ahly: Bucs' coach Jose Riveiro shares latest injury update ahead of the crucial Caf Champions League outing

Orlando Pirates host Al Ahly on Saturday in Group C of the annual Caf Champions League competition.

Bucs started their campaign with a 2-1 win against Khanyisa Mayo's CR Belouizdad, while Percy Tau's Al Ahly defeated Stade d'Abidjan 4-2 in Cairo.

It is going to be a massive game that either team will be hoping to win.

Pirates have won three out of the last six meetings against the Red Devils across all competitions.

In his recent interview, coach Jose Riveiro said his team has no reason not to collect maximum points since they have had enough time to prepare for the outing.

It is vital for them to have all key players available for the outing.

The Sea Robbers tactician has since revealed who is ready to be involved this weekend.

“What I can tell you is that we are training right now with 36 players available for selection,” he said in pre-match.

“Luckily we have even the long-term injuries coming right, it’s just a small group of players, actually four exactly who are not available.

“Everybody is really fit, everybody is really pushing this week to be part of the 20, to be part of the starting XI and that’s good news for the team," Riveiro concluded.

After suffering their second loss last weekend - across all competitions, against Stellenbosch in the Premier Soccer League, Bucs have no option but to bounce back effectively.

A win on Saturday will boost the team's confidence levels and renew their energy in their bid to make a statement in the annual competition.
