Orlando Pirates grapple with injuries to key players Thabiso Sesane and Siphesihle Mbatha. Sesane will undergo surgery after suffering a ruptured tendon, while Mbatha is expected to recover faster after picking up an injury in the same match.
Orlando Pirates fans are facing some tough news on the injury front. Bafana defender Thabiso Sesane suffered a ruptured tendon during the team's 2-1 victory over Sekhukhune United midweek. This injury will require surgery and unfortunately rule Sesane out for an extended period. On a slightly brighter note, midfielder and Bafana Bafana international, Siphesihle Mbatha , who also picked up an injury in that same match, is expected to make a quicker recovery.
Mbatha sustained his injury following a collision with an opposing player while attempting to shoot. The Pirates medical team has been working diligently to get Mbatha back on the field, but they have decided to prioritize his recovery and focus on rehabilitation. While it is uncertain if he will be ready for the team's next league game against Golden Arrows on February 19th, there is hope he may return for the match against Cape Town City on February 22nd.
