Riveiro is unsure if Lepasa will be available for Friday’s match, but says that he will look to have all of his dangermen available for the clash.

Zakhele Lepasa is a doubt for Orlando Pirates’ Carling Knockout Cup Last 16 clash against Cape Town Spurs on Friday.

The striker has been struggling with an injury, and it is unclear if he will be fit enough to play.
