Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro has identified Mbekezeli Mbokazi as one of the potential replacements for Thabiso Sesane following his injury.
ORLANDO PIRATES LOSE THABISO SESANE
The Sea Robbers have been hit by another central defensive injury, with Thabiso Sesane joining a growing list of injured defenders. Previously, Tapelo Xoki and Olisa Ndah were sidelined, and now Sesane has also been ruled out after suffering an injury in the 2-1 win over Sekhukhune United earlier this month.
“We’re relying on players like Tapelo Xoki, Innocent Maela, and Mbekezeli Mbokazi to step up. It’s time for all of them to contribute,” said Riveiro, as quoted by FARPost. “With so many games coming up in the next few weeks, every player will be needed.”
ORLANDO PIRATES LOOKING TO SIGN TWO WINGERS
The club’s squad reshuffling continues as Katlego Otladisa and Gilberto have been loaned out to Sekhukhune United and Petro de Luanda, respectively, for the remainder of the season. This leaves their futures at Orlando Pirates uncertain.
TSHEPANG MOREMI LINKED WITH PIRATES
One player gaining attention is Tshepang Moremi, a winger from AmaZulu. Having been linked with Kaizer Chiefs last season, it seems Orlando Pirates are now the front-runners to secure his signature. The 24-year-old has impressed with two goals and two assists in 18 appearances so far this season. A source informed Soccer Laduma, “Pirates are leading the race, ahead of Sundowns and Chiefs. They’ve already made inquiries, and discussions could progress at the end of the season.”
Further sources indicated that the transfer could involve both cash and player exchanges, depending on AmaZulu’s demands and how negotiations unfold.
