Goalkeeper Brilliant Khuzwayo will miss the start of the league as he is set to be out of action for between 3-4 weeks.
Khuzwayo will see an orthorpaedic surgeon this week to remove screws in his ankle and to have a scope performed.
Although not serious, this treatment is more of a corrective measure to allow the player to endure a pain-free season with the Buccaneers.
