Orlando Pirates have a number of players injured this season. The team has already played a total of eight matches this season.
Most Premier Soccer League teams have only played two matches so far this season, but the Buccaneers are heading into their 10th game this coming weekend. They have reached the MTN8 final for the third successive time, and Jose Riveiro’s team has a chance to win their fifth successive final.
Last season, Orlando Pirates won the MTN8 and Nedbank Cup, making it a successful campaign. With the Buccaneers reaching the CAF Champions League group stages, they have reason to believe they can add a second star.The Soweto giants now have to compete in five different competitions this season, which could mean playing more than 50 matches in the next nine months. Riveiro will need to rotate his squad as much as possible to avoid injuries, especially to key players.
Rulani Mokwena is already feeling the heat at Wydad. The ex-Sundowns coach was left frustrated with referees during his side’s draw. A woman has died from hypothermia in hospital after spending a night with other passengers in a minibus taxi stranded by the weather. There were plenty of changes in the World Rugby rankings after Round 5 of this year’s Rugby Championship on Saturday.
