Orlando Pirates say Chipolopolo striker Collins Mbesuma’s injury sustained in Sunday’s post-match penalty semifinal cup tie win over SuperSport United is not serious.
Mbesuma sustained an ankle injury and was replaced by Lennox Bacela but Pirates team Doctor Lazarous Maphakela says the injury is not as serious as initially feared.
Maphakela told Orlandopiratesfc.com that Mbesuma only twisted his ankle and could not carry on because of an inflammation on it.
“Collins is fine – the injury is not as serious… there are no structural damages to his ankle – it was just a twist,” said Dr Maphakela.
Mbesuma is expected to be part of Pirates’ team to face visitors Egyptian giants Zamalek on Saturday evening in Johannesburg on match day three of the 2013 CAF Champions League in which the South African club leads Group A on four points.
And Mbesuma was mysteriously omitted Zambia’s friendly against Senegal that takes place this evening in Paris.

Uwabola!
The headline sure
Mbesuma is still keeping fit at his club. Heave Rena shouldnt make a mistake of leaving out Mbesuma in the Ghana tussle
“And Mbesuma was mysteriously omitted”. Nice statement, I like it.
