Orlando Pirates winger, Tlou Segolela, is in a race against time, as he looks to be in the club's 18-man squad for the MTN8 quarterfinal against SuperSport United on Saturday.
The speedy winger has been battling injury and it has been revealed that he will have to pass a late fitness test before being considered for Saturday's crucial match. 'Sox', as he is affectionately known in football circles, was in the starting line-up for the Carling Black Label Cup derby against Kaizer Chiefs last Saturday and will be hoping to be fully fit for the encounter against Matsatsantsa a Pitori.
He has been linked with a possible move to Mpumalanga Black Aces, but for the time being is hoping to nail down a place in Vladimir Vermezovic's team.
His blistering pace and vision has endeared him to the Bucs faithful, but has blown hot and cold over the course of last season, and a game of this magnitude is a chance to impress.
Bucs' physiotherapist, Shiraaz Josephs, told the club's official website, "We will have to see how he responds to treatment and if there are any new developments we will let you know."
