Is a comeback on the horizon? Saleng might play this season

Monnapule Saleng hasn't stepped onto the pitch since early December 2024, but it seems his return to the Orlando Pirates lineup is imminent.

Details: According to Soccerladuma, he is already training with the team, and the club is preparing him for a return in the final part of the season. However, his physical condition after a long break should be taken into account.

Quote: "He remains an important part of the team, and we are monitoring his progress. If he is deemed ready, his candidacy will be considered for inclusion in the squad," reports the publication.

Orlando Pirates currently hold second place in the South African Premier League standings, amassing 46 points after 20 rounds. The team has three games in hand, trailing the leader by 12 points.

Additionally, the Pirates defeated Marumo Gallants in the South African Cup semi-final and advanced to the final. Orlando also managed to beat MC Algiers and progressed to the CAF Champions League semi-final.
