Relebohile Mofokeng, with his impressive goal and assist record, is set to lead Orlando Pirates' attack in the highly anticipated Soweto Derby against Kaizer Chiefs. The article also updates on the returns of Saleng and Sibisi, providing an insight into Pirates' squad strength.
Relebohile Mofokeng has emerged as a pivotal player for Orlando Pirates, contributing significantly with 11 goals and 8 assists across all competitions this season. The young winger's impact is undeniable, having secured victories in both of his encounters against arch-rivals Kaizer Chiefs. However, he aims to break his scoreless streak against them in the upcoming derby.
Meanwhile, fellow winger Mohau Nkota has seamlessly integrated into the first team, showcasing his talent with two league goals and impressive performances in the Caf Champions League, where he boasts two goals and two assists. Adding to Pirates' attacking prowess, winger Monnapule Saleng is nearing a return to training after an absence. While his participation in the Soweto Derby might be uncertain, sources indicate progress in his recovery and a potential return to competitive action soon. In the recent Nedbank Cup victory against Richards Bay, goalkeeper Sipho Chaine was rested due to a looming suspension. Defender Nkosinathi Sibisi, who missed the Bay match due to suspension, is expected to return for the derby against Kaizer Chiefs, replacing Tapelo Xoki.
