Zinnbauer sweating on Mhango’s fitness for Pirates’ big semifinal derby against Chiefs

Pirates have scored three goals in three matches this season in a 1-0 win over Cape Town City in the cup quarterfinals before 1-1 draws in the two DStv Premiership matches against AmaZulu and Stellenbosch FC.

“It’s a good question‚ they [Bucs’ medical staff] have worked on it [the injury] and he had a scan‚” the coach said‚ asked about Mhango’s avilability.“I will speak with my medicals and then I can get the information. I’m so sorry about this. “Mhango is a top striker and it’s always bad when you lose your top striker‚” Pirates’ coach admitted.

Zinnbauer acknowledges that defensively Pirates have been better since he joined the team in December‚ but their scoring rate has been woeful with the team relying heavily on Mhango to find the goals.
