A statement on Pirates’ website reads: “Motshwari is nearing full recovery however there will be no rushing the 28-year old back to the field to avoid reaggravating the injury. Motshwari is said to be doing well and is experiencing minimal discomfort on the site of the injury. He will continue to undergo rehabilitation as they work on getting the hard-running midfielder back to full training.
“Abel Mabaso is nearing full recovery from a Grade 1 hamstring tear that he suffered two weeks ago. Mabaso, who is yet to feature this season, is currently training with the biokineticist and is expected to return to full training at the end of the week.
“Further injury updates at the club include Kabelo Dlamini, who picked up a knock in the 3-all draw against Cape Town City over the weekend. The 23-year old is currently undergoing physiotherapy treatment and will be reassessed on Thursday before being cleared to join the rest of the team.”
