Ghana goalkeeper Richard Ofori has ruled out of Orlando Pirates' game against Kaizer Chiefs in the semi-final of the Carling Black Label Cup because of injury.
The Black Label Cup is the last action for Pirates until the last day of the year as the Premier Soccer League is on a break for the 2022 World Cup.
Orlando Pirates have confirmed that Ofori will miss their semi-final game alongside defenders Thabiso Monyane and Innocent Maela.
