Important Update: Orlando Pirates Gives Update on Relebohile Mofokeng!

While their young star, Relebohile Mofokeng, was conspicuously absent from the pitch, Orlando Pirates delivered a commanding performance, sweeping aside Lioli FC with a resounding 4-0 victory in the CAF Champions League. The 20-year-old winger, a rising talent who has attracted significant international interest following an outstanding season of 12 goals and 15 assists, missed the match after failing to attend training the previous Friday.

The saga of Mofokeng's absence, however, is set to continue. As the Buccaneers prepare for their upcoming Betway Premiership clash against TS Galaxy in Soweto, a shadow of uncertainty hangs over the team.

The club has officially shifted the reason for his unavailability, now citing injury concerns. In a recent statement, they confirmed that Mofokeng is "among the doubtful starters" for the Tuesday fixture, noting his continued recovery after sitting out the previous game.

Despite this potential setback, the mood within the Pirates' camp remains one of confident resolve. The team has demonstrated that its strength does not rely on a single player. The flanks remain a source of potent threat, thanks to the impressive form of Tshapeng Moremi and Oswin Appollis. Moremi has netted five times in his last ten outings, while Appollis has contributed three goals and four assists in the same number of appearances, proving that the Pirates' attack is well-equipped to thrive even in the absence of their celebrated winger.
