The coach of the Bucs is ready to give the Ghanaian shot-stopper playing time ahead of Brazil 2014.
Orlando Pirates coach Roger De Sa has promised to hand Ghana goalkeeper Fatau Dauda game time.
Speaking after Piratesďż˝ three friendlies against AC Leopards, Polokwane City and United FC on Tuesday, De Sa admitted it was important to prepare Dauda at club level for the World Cup.
"Dauda got a full game today. It was very important that we get him as ready as possible because he has a big year ahead with the World Cup,ďż˝ Pirates quoted De Sa via their official Twitter handle.
The Ghana number one kept a clean sheet in Bucsďż˝ first game against AC Leopards, which Pirates won 1-0.
After the game, the Ghanaian said he was happy to have lasted full throttle for Pirates.
"I'm happy I played today against a strong team. They gave us problems but in the end we did the job," said Dauda.
"I managed to make only a few saves because our defence was tight. They played very well. I took a knock when the ball hit me in the head from close range. That man had a serious shot. But I'm cool now. No harm done,ďż˝ stated Dauda.
Pirates will lock horns with SuperSport United in a Premiership match at Orlando Stadium on Saturday and Dauda will hope to be in post.
