Orlando Pirates may have two central defenders from West Africa next season if Olisa Ndah stays.

ORLANDO PIRATES TO SIGN STELLENBOSCH FC STAR?

According to Soccer Laduma, the Sea Robbers are back in for the 27-year-old central defender after failing to land the deal on the eve of the current season. ” He [Toure] is still on the club’s (Pirates’) radar, and it’s just a matter of when the club will be taking the interest forward by making a formal offer,” a source said to the publication. “If you look around the league, you will notice that he is one of the reliable and consistent defenders, and his performances haven’t gone unnoticed as interest in his services is growing,” he concluded.

JOSE RIVEIRO TO REPLACE SIPHO CHAINE

Soweto Giants and Orlando Pirates have another chance to put some pressure on Betway Premiership leaders Mamelodi Sundowns but without a key player.

With the Sea Robbers set to visit the Chilli Boyz at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Wednesday evening at 19:30, the Premier Soccer League has confirmed that Orlando Pirates’ goalkeeper, Chaine, earned a fourth yellow card against Marumo Gallants in Bloemfontein last Saturday. This means that the former Chippa goalie will serve the suspension against his former side.

Jose Riveiro is expected to field Melusi Buthelezi between the poles.
