After injury, Relebohile Mofokeng is close to returning to Orlando Pirates!

Orlando Pirates have received an encouraging update regarding the fitness of promising winger Relebohile Mofokeng as they prepare for their upcoming Betway Premiership encounter with Chippa United.

The youngster's unexpected absence during the narrow 1-0 victory over Orbit College raised questions among supporters, though head coach Abdessalam Ouaddou clarified that the decision was made strictly in accordance with medical recommendations. Prior to this omission, Mofokeng had maintained a perfect attendance record, appearing in all six of the club's matches this season.

The Buccaneers have now suggested that the talented South African youth international could be in contention for selection this weekend, providing a timely boost for the squad. This potential return comes as Orlando Pirates seek greater consistency in their league performances—currently positioned ninth in the standings with six points, all earned from home victories against Stellenbosch and Orbit College.

The team's morale remains high following their recent achievement of securing a place in the MTN8 Cup final, offering positive momentum as they look to improve their domestic form.
