Zinnbauer boosted by Mhango's recovery progress at Orlando Pirates

Orlando Pirates head coach Josef Zinnbauer is optimistic the club's leading goalscorer Gabadinho Mhango will soon be back in action.

Mhango has missed the Buccaneers' last four matches after picking up a groin injury in the match against Stellenbosch FC at the end of October.

It also ruled him out of recent Africa Cup of Nations qualifying games for his national team Malawi.

Mhango was the Premier Soccer League (PSL) joint top goalscorer last season with 16 goals.

In his absence, Pirates have however won all four matches, including Saturday night's 2-1 win over SuperSport United at the Orlando Stadium.
