Saleng last played for Pirates on December 7 last year against Al Ahly in the CAF Champions League group stage. Since then, he has been conspicuously absent, and Pirates have remained completely silent on the matter. True to form, Pirates have not commented on his inclusion. However, a media report stated that the club will not stand in his way. This is good news for local fans, and many are likely to attend Bafana Bafana’s home leg against Egypt.
“This matter involves significant issues at the core of the employer-employee relationship that require resolution. Our client remains committed to addressing these matters through the appropriate legal and professional channels."
