McCarthy missed Pirates’ MTN8 Final and Saturday’s League match against Kaizer Chiefs. Leal says that the striker has recovered but he is still working on his fitness.
“He is not injured anymore; 10 days ago he picked up a slight muscle problem and was treated. He has now recovered.
“This past week McCarthy practiced with a group of players but he still needs time in order to reach the fitness level that he was at when we first used him,” Leal adds.
“He will now join the group for normal activities, but he still needs some complementary training to lift his performance because now he is at a different level. But we will see during the week how he responds in training.”
Benni’s return will come as a huge boost for Pirates who have been awful in front of goals in their recent matches.
