Nkosinathi Sibisi returns to the Orlando Pirates starting line-up so is forgotten midfielder Sihle Nduli

Nkosinathi Sibisi's return to the Orlando Pirates starting line-up for this evening's clash against AmaZulu allays fears that he was to undergo surgery.

The captain and Pirates defender was stretched off on Saturday against Durban City in the MTN8 match but his return this evening is something coach Abdeslam Ouaddou would be smiling about.

But midfielder Thalente Mbatha is out with an injury and his place is taken by another injury returnee Sihle Nduli.

Nduli was out for the greater part of last season's run in to the title due to injury.
