Monnapule Saleng expected to feature against Arrows
Monnapule Saleng was captured training with teammates ahead of Orlando Pirates’ match against Golden Arrows.
Orlando Pirates winger Monnapule Saleng could feature in their next match against Golden Arrows on Tuesday evening.
The 27-year-old was teased by the club on Monday during their training session. He was pictures training with teammates as they prepare to play their final league matches of the season.
Having lost out in the Nedbank Cup final to Kaizer Chiefs, the Buccaneers will look to finish the season on a high. Tuesday’s encounter with Arrows will be Jose Riveiro’s last match for Pirates, as he had requested an early release. The Spaniard led the team to five trophies in the three seasons he’s been at the club.
Monnapule Saleng to play his first match in 5 months?
Saleng has not kicked a ball for the Buccaneers in five months. He last featured for the team in December last year against Al Ahly in the CAF Champions League group stage match. He was, however, called to the Bafana Bafana squad for the CHAN qualifiers, playing one match.
Orlando Pirates host Golden Arrows at the Orlando Stadium on Tuesday evening, looking to add to their point tally, having already secured second place on the log. Monnapule Saleng and the likes of Miguel Timm might get some minutes in the final matches of the season.
