"Orlando Pirates' options at left-back have been bolstered by the return of defender Paseka Mako, who has resumed training following an injury lay-off. The 30-year-old has been sidelined for a lengthy period, having last featured for the Buccaneers in October last year. This is after sustaining a knee ligament injury while on international duty, shortly after debuting for South Africa in a friendly against Eswatini," Pirates confirmed on the club's official website.
"Following a successful surgery and subsequent rehabilitation, Mako has made significant strides in his recovery process. He resumed light training in August and has now been declared fit to join his teammates in their preparations for the start of their Betway Premiership campaign," confirmed the Buccaneers.
