Orlando Pirates have confirmed that goalkeeper Jackson Mabokgwane will be out for the rest of the season as he continues to mend his way back to full fitness.

The Limpopo-born shot-stopper sustained an injury to his finger during a training session and has since undergone a successful operation on his finger.

However, Mabokgwane is expected to be out for at least six weeks and will miss Pirates last two games of the season against Cape Town City and Polokwane City respectively.

Mabokgwane will undergo reassessment on the 6 May 2019 for removal of stitches and then will commence physiotherapy and occupational therapy, according to the Buccaneers medical team.

Meanwhile, the club’s medical team also confirmed that the likes of Diamond Thopola as well as Kudakwashe Mahachi have been cleared and can return to full training.
