Orlando Pirates have provided an update on missing defender and ‘captain’ Thulani Hlatshwayo.
The former Bafana Bafana captain has found the going tough at the Buccaneers following his blockbuster move from the now defunct Bidvest Wits.
Buccaneers coach Mandla Ncikazi has since issued an update on the defender who was named on the Orlando Pirates bench for tonight’s clash against JS Saoura.
“Tyson is training well. He had an injury, he was training well, I think currently he is in competition to be in the team. But one thing I like about him.” the Orlando Pirates coach said as quoted by Citizen.
“And maybe that shows his experience, his attitude is always great. He trains well, he supports the team even if he is not part of the team and very soon, we will see him in the field of play,”
JS Saoura vs Orlando Pirates: Starting lineups!
Pirates XI: Ofori, Jele Ndah, Nyauza, Mako, Mabaso, Mosele, Shandu, Dlamini, Hotto, Peprah.
Subs: Mpontshane, Dzvukamanja, Lepasa, Maela, Makaringe, Sam, Hlatshwayo, Makgaka, Ndlovu.
Ncikazi ‘ready’ to get ‘fired’
“As a coach, the day you get hired you must be ready to be fired.” Orlando Pirates co-coach Mandla Ncikazi said recently.
“I don’t think there’s a coach in any league who’s not feeling under pressure, and I’m in the same pool. So the pressure, I understand.
“I understand the frustrations of the Pirates supporters, they want their team to be in a better state. So more than me, it’s about the frustration they are going through.
“I wish I could change it so that it can be better. But it is what it is for Orlando Pirates right now. We are just missing goals.
“I think we are one of those teams playing so well but we just miss the main part. So it’s not about me, it’s about the supporters getting what they deserve.”
