When is Monnapule Saleng’s making a return? Well a decision is getting closer with Orlando Pirates fans still in suspense.
Pirates supporters were buzzing with excitement last weekend when star winger Monnapule Saleng was spotted back in training after a prolonged absence. Hopes soared as fans anticipated his return to action.
However, the excitement was short-lived. Saleng did not travel with the squad for their crucial CAF Champions League clash against MC Alger on Tuesday, leaving supporters wondering about his true status.
Fitness concerns keep Saleng side lined
Reports indicate that Saleng’s continued absence is more about fitness concerns rather than an actual injury. While other key players, including Patrick Maswanganyi, Thabiso Monyane, Zakhele Lepasa, Olisa Ndah, Thabiso Sesane, and Thabiso Lebitso, were named in the squad, Saleng’s name was missing.
The Soweto giants have remained silent, neither confirming nor denying whether the talented winger will feature again this season. This lack of transparency has fueled speculation among fans and football pundits alike.
Will Saleng play again this season? Uncertainty continues
Some within the club remain optimistic about Saleng’s return, believing he can still make a comeback if he reaches full match fitness before the season concludes. Others, however, argue that his time at Orlando Pirates may have already ended. They claim that he might have played his final game for the club, stirring speculation and debate among supporters.
As doubts grow, fans are growing increasingly frustrated and demanding clarity from the club. Many have taken to social media, urging the Pirates management to address Saleng’s situation and put an end to the uncertainty.
Official Pirates statement on the horizon?
Sources close to the situation hint that Orlando Pirates may soon break their silence and address Saleng’s future.
“He will be back, and he is working hard in making sure that it happens. But it’s a complex situation that isn’t easy for anyone to understand, and we are waiting for the club to make a statement. The club could soon be issuing a statement, and until then, let’s wait,” a source revealed.
As anticipation builds, supporters remain on edge, waiting for official confirmation. Will Monnapule Saleng return to the field, or has his time with the Buccaneers come to an end? Just like head coach Jose Riveiro?
