Orlando Pirates star Monnapule Saleng's absence from the pitch and his disinterested reaction during team celebrations raise questions about his future with the club.
Monnapule Saleng has not played for Orlando Pirates since early December and was again seen in the stands this weekend as the Buccaneers defeated State d’Abidjan 3-0. During Saturday’s CAF Champions League match, Saleng remained seated while his teammates celebrated Deon Hotto’s late goal. Coach Jose Riveiro refused to confirm Saleng ’s availability before the match, stating that the final decision would be made after training.
Saleng’s lack of reaction to his team’s goal has sparked fan speculation about the reasons behind his absence. With just six months left on his contract, the Buccaneers may consider selling the winger during the January transfer window. Saleng has only played three league matches this season, scoring twice. He was a standout performer for the club during their MTN8 championship win.
