Orlando Pirates midfielder Andile Jali will miss this weekend's clash against Bloemfontein Celtic after picking up a one-match ban.

The 19-year-old received his third booking in 'Bucs' 1-1 draw against Maritzburg United on Wednesday night, a result that sees Pirates fall further off the PSL titkle pace.

He told the club's official website: "Nonetheless, I have to deal with it as these things happen. It's just one of those unfortunate situations one cannot control. I just need to accept it and put it behind me.

"I have already set my focus on preparing for the match against Ajax Cape Town (21 November 2009)."
