Orlando Pirates striker Benni McCarthy out of action for two weeks

Orlando Pirates will be without striker Benni McCarthy when they face Jomo Cosmos in a League game on Sunday due to a hamstring injury. 

The striker has been ruled out of action for the next two weeks.

McCarthy limped off the field during Telkom Knockout Cup game against Black Leopards on Saturday. He was replaced by Bongani Ndulula after scoring the first goal in the 2-1 win.

However despite the absence of McCarthy, Pirates are expected to welcome back Tlou Segolela and Thulasizwe Mbuyane for the trip to Port Elizabeth to face Ezenkosi on Sunday.

Mbuyane missed the game against Leopards due to a bout of flu while Segolela has been nursing a knee injury for the past few weeks.

Meanwhile Pirates striker Rudolf Bester is on cloud nine after scored his first goal for Pirates this season during the game against Black Leopards on Saturday.

"The goal was made more special by the fact that it was the one that helped us get the win and qualify for the second round of the competition,” says Bester.
