Bucs stars back for Derby

Orlando Pirates coach Ruud Krol could spring a surprise on Kaizer Chiefs in tonight’s Soweto Derby at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth.
Bucs PRO Mickey Modisane confirms to KickOff.com that Teko Modise, Katlego Mashego, Innocent Mdledle and Benson Mhlongo are available for selection.
“They have been training with the team since Monday after the break the coach gave them and it is up to the coach whether they play or not. But yes, the four players are ready to play today,” Modisane says.
Krol had insisted to KickOff.com before the start of the Vodacom Challenge that the quartet were “not going to play during the tournament after their participation in the Confederations Cup. They need a break”, he said at the time.
To make matters worse for Chiefs is the fact that Valery Nahayo will miss the Derby due to injury.
The winner of today's match will play Manchester City in the Final on Saturday at the Loftus Stadium.
