Monnapule Saleng’s future at Orlando Pirates revealed: The end?
Saleng’s exit rumours from Orlando Pirates continue to swirl but what is actually happening behind the scenes. The end or not?
Monnapule Saleng’s future at Orlando Pirates is revealed. Could this be the end or not? Let’s delve in and find out.
Rumours have been swirling about Saleng at Orlando Pirates, with many speculating that he has played his last game for the club. However, insiders have provided crucial insights into what lies ahead for the talented winger.
Saleng’s last official appearance for Pirates came in December during a rare outing in the Champions League clash against Al Ahly. Since then, he has been noticeably absent from matchday squads, fueling speculation about his potential departure.
The Bucs insist Saleng remains in their plans
Despite growing chatter about an exit, Orlando Pirates maintain that Saleng’s absence is only temporary. A reliable source within the club has dismissed claims that his time with the Buccaneers is over.
“Who is saying that (reports that Saleng might have played his last game)? There is no such thing, and he remains a Pirates player. He would have been released in January if that was the case, but that didn’t happen because he is still in the club’s plans,” the source confirmed.
According to the insider, Saleng remains a crucial asset to the squad. His absence has been felt, particularly in key matches where his skillset could have made a difference.
“You can see that there is space for him in the team. When (Mohau) Nkota didn’t have a great game in the (Soweto) derby, he (Saleng) would have been an option to replace him had he been available. He will be back,” the source added.
What’s next for Saleng and Pirates?
As Pirates prepare to face Sekhukhune United tonight at 19:25 in the Betway Premiership, the focus remains on closing the gap with Mamelodi Sundowns. While Saleng won’t feature in the squad, his return appears to be on the horizon.
With the season still in full swing, all eyes will be on Pirates to see when and how Saleng reintegrated into the team. Will he make a triumphant return, or is there still uncertainty surrounding his future? Only time will tell, but for now, Orlando Pirates remain firm—Monnapule Saleng is not going anywhere.
