Pirates receive Chansa boost

Johannesburg - Orlando Pirates have been boosted by the return of fit-again midfielder Isaac Chansa ahead of their PSL clash against Free State Stars.

The 27-year-old has been sidelined so far this season through injury, but has been included in coach Julio Leal's 18-man squad to take on Ea Lla Koto in Qwa-Qwa on Wednesday.

"It feels really good and I am very happy to be back in the team," the Zambian told the club's official website.

"I have been out for a long time due to injury. As a player, I need to play; hence that period has been frustrating.

"However, I have recovered well and still working hard on returning to full fitness, which will also come with some game time."

The midfielder added: "Although I haven't played any competitive matches this season, I am feeling fit and well.

"Now that I have been included in the 18-man squad, I have a chance to play and hopefully I will get the time on the pitch against Stars."
