Orlando Pirates have confirmed that defender Thabiso Sesane and midfielder Selaelo Rasebotja remain unavailable as the Soweto giants continue to battle early-season setbacks.
The Sea Robbers have endured a rocky start in the Betway Premiership, sitting 14th on the table after two defeats and one draw in their opening three league fixtures.
They lost 1-0 at home to Sekhukhune United, 2-1 away to Marumo Gallants, before being held to a 1-1 draw by Mamelodi Sundowns in the MTN8 semi-final first leg at Orlando Stadium this past weekend.
