Orlando Pirates are limping going into this weekend's Nedbank Cup quarter-final clash with AmaZulu as they will be missing three defenders.
Now, Pirates head into this crucial encounter with a bit of a crisis as Nkosinathi Sibisi is suspended and both Tapelo Xoki and Olisa Ndah are injured.
However, Riveiro doesn’t seem too bothered by the fact he will be missing his three trusted centre-backs, saying Pirates have about seven central defenders. The Spaniard won the trophy in his first season in charge as the Buccaneers beat Sekhukhune United in the final at Loftus Versfeld Stadium.
