Orlando Pirates central midfielder Nkanyiso Zungu is set to be unleashed against Mamelodi Sundowns and make his debut in the blockbuster league encounter in Dobsonville on Tuesday evening.

Pirates German coach Josef Zinnbauer has confirmed that the skilful left-footed player has shrugged off an injury he was carrying when he joined the Sea Robbers from Stellenbosch FC in January and is now in good conditioning.

Zungu will give the Buccaneers a different dimension and a bit of creativity in midfield should he start against Sundowns‚ but Zinnbauer said everyone will have to wait for the starting line up to find out. “I think this is a good thing. It is not easy after not playing for five months and coming back and not having so much training. But we have a squad that is good enough for these seven matches.”

“You have lot of points to control but thank you to the club we had possibilities with external coaching.“There are lot of things we do to help motivate the players. It is not easy for the players too. Maybe we can get a good result from all these hard work‚” said the Zinnbauer.
