Orlando Pirates' Thabiso Lebitso ruled out of tonight's gigantic clash against Mamelodi Sundowns through injury

Thabiso Lebitso is not going to play any pat in Orlando Pirates’ Betway Premiership clash against Mamelodi Sundowns this evening.

The Sea Robbers are without the right-back after he sustained injury and are likely to replace him with Kamogelo Sebelebele or Deno van Rooyen.

Both Sebelebele and van Rooyen have done pretty well for the Pirates whenever Lebitso misses out as the former Chippa United man has made the right-back position his ahead of the duo.

This evening’s top of the table clash at FNB Stadium is likely to be the title decider for both teams as Pirates head into the game with a six point lead.

Sundowns are second with 32 points while Pirates have 38 with two games more than their Pretoria counterparts.

“Pirates head to their assignment against the Tshwane giants with no fresh suspension worries, while the likes of Tapelo Xoki and Thabiso Lebitso continue to recover from their respective injuries,” Pirates announced on Tuesday.

The game starts at 7.30pm.
