Lepasa has been side-lined by injury since pre-season and hasn't been able to compete for his place in coach Jose Riveiro's team this season.
With the team set for their first of the tricky away encounters this week against Sekhukhune tonight before switching focus to the trip to the Loftus Versveld Stadium to face defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday, Bucs have reported positive news on the injury front with both Lepasa and Goodman Mosele understood to be close to availability for selection.
