Johannesburg - Troubled midfielder Teko Modise will stand before an Orlando Pirates disciplinary hearing on Thursday.
The Bafana Bafana international went AWOL ahead of Bucs' clash with Santos earlier in the month, angering the Parktown side's hierarchy - who later suspended the midfielder.
Following an investigation into the matter by the Soweto club, the 28-year-old will now have to face the music at a disciplinary hearing.
A statement released by Pirates chairman Irvin Khoza reads: 'Orlando Pirates Football Club has completed its investigation into the circumstances surrounding Mr. Teko Modise's widely reported absence from camp prior to the club's premier league match against Santos Football Club on 15 January 2011.
'The club has resolved to conduct a disciplinary hearing arising from the investigation and Mr. Modise will be afforded a full opportunity to address the relevant issues and allegations in that forum.
'The hearing is an internal matter and will be conducted at 53 Central Avenue, Houghton on Thursday 27 January 2011 at 10:00.'
