Former Orlando Pirates midfielder Bernard Morrison is set to miss out on the return-leg to South Africa when Young Africans face Marumo Gallants in a CAF Confederations Cup semi-final on May 17.
Morrison was banned from entering South Africa after violating immigration rules back in 2018.

The midfielder overstayed his visa by over two months after his visa expired. Morrison was also arrested in South Africa in 2017 after being found in possession of a stolen car.
That led to the player being detained at the Douglasdale Police Station in Johannesburg.
Young Africans president Hersi Said informed KickOff that his team are working around the clock for permission for Morrison to make the trip to South Africa.
"We are preparing to apply for a waiver. We have already started to engage the South African embassy and try to resolve the issue, Said tells KickOff.
"We are ready to do everything to make sure that everything is sorted out and the player travel to South Africa and we already comply with all conditions."
Young Africans first host Gallants on May 10 before a return leg a week later.
Kick-off is at 18:00.
