Orlando Pirates have issued an update on star attacker Thembinkosi Lorch and other star ahead of their crucial clash this weekend against Sekhukhune United.
Having progressed to the final of the Nedbank Cup last weekend after defeating rivals Kaizer Chiefs, Bucs are oozing with confidence going into their next match on Saturday at the Orlando Stadium against Babina Noko.

The two teams will also play in the final of the Nedbank Cup on May 27 but for now the focus is on the league encounter in the penultimate fixtures this weekend.
Meanwhile, the Buccaneers have confirmed that Lorch is nearing closer to a return after his latest injury.
Lorch missed the team's last three matches in the league, as well as the Nedbank Cup semi-final clash against Kaizer Chiefs last weekend.
The Soweto giants have provided an update on Lorch and defender Bandile Shandu who got a knock against Amakhosi last Saturday.
"Pirates have had injury worries of their own in recent weeks, and had another scare in the form of defender Bandile Shandu, whose involvement in the semi-final was cut short when he had to be stretchered off in the first half," Pirates stated on the club's official website.
