Orlando Pirates co-coach Mandla Ncikazi says the “galaxy of strikers” at the club means Gabadinho Mhango will have to wait his turn to play as he also suggested the DStv Premiership is a bigger stage than the Africa Cup of Nations finals.
Mhango and Tshegofatso Mabasa could not make the match-day 20 as Pirates defeated AmaZulu 1-0 in their Nedbank Cup Last 32 clash at the Orlando Stadium on Sunday.
“We chose to go with Peprah and Lepasa. He [Mhango] will have to work hard and wait for his chance. He will wait like all other players. We recognise and acknowledge his performance in Afcon. But maybe the league in SA is bigger than Afcon. “We are looking to him for a lot of things. He is one of those players a lot of teams would love to have. Added to that is starlet Boitumelo Radiopane in the DStv Diski Challenge side.
“But if we are not guaranteed he will start, we want to ensure he gets game time and minutes to help him to continue to develop. He is in the galaxy of strikers I have mentioned. We want to fast-track his development and I am sure he will be a star in the future.”
