Monnapule Saleng’s Hiatus: What’s Really Going On?

Orlando Pirates winger Monnapule Saleng has been notably absent from the pitch since November 5.

While the club has cited “personal issues” as the reason for his extended break, many have speculated that the true cause might be related to his transfer saga.

Last year, Saleng attracted interest from European clubs like Monaco and Standard Liege, but the Pirates were reportedly reluctant to let go of the talented 26-year-old.

Although no official explanation has been provided for his two-month absence, the possibility of Saleng returning to action has fans excited.

According to SoccerLaduma, a return is on the horizon, and once he’s fit, he will be back in the squad, ready to pick up where he left off.

Could Saleng Be Back for the Soweto Derby?

Saleng was a standout performer the last time Orlando Pirates faced Kaizer Chiefs in a thrilling 3-2 victory, scoring two vital goals.

Now, with another Soweto Derby just around the corner, there’s uncertainty about whether the Bafana Bafana star will feature.

Chiefs fans, in particular, might be hoping for his absence, given how much of an impact Saleng can make in these high-stakes matches.

Is Relebohile Mofokeng Headed to North Africa?

In other Pirates news, there are reports suggesting that 20-year-old striker Relebohile Mofokeng could be on the move to Wydad Athletic in Morocco.

According to SoccerLaduma, Wydad is in advanced talks with Orlando Pirates, and a tempting financial offer is reportedly on the table.

The move could see Mofokeng reunited with his compatriot, Rulani Mokwena, who now coaches at Wydad.

However, while the offer is enticing, the deal doesn’t seem likely to happen in the immediate future.
