Orlando Pirates and Jose Riveiro will have to deal without the services of one of their key players after he was SUSPENDED by the PSL.
Orlando Pirates and Jose Riveiro will have to deal without the services of one of their key players after he was SUSPENDED by the PSL.
Pirates followed in the footsteps of their rivals Kaizer Chiefs, who also have one star suspended.
Riveiro will have to test his squad depth when the Bucs take on Sekhukhune United on 4 October 2022.
Olisa Ndah has been suspended by the PSL, as reported.
This, after receiving two yellow cards in the DStv Premiership as well as another in the MTN8. Now, he will have to sit in the naughty chair and watch his side take on Sekhukhune United.
Therefore, Riveiro and the Bucs will have to find a suitable replacement for their midweek PSL clash against Sekhukhune.
Nkosinathi Sibisi and Tapelo Xoki are expected to form a formidable centre-back pairing for the Bucs.
Bucs fans will be pleased with their side’s recent form after they held Mamelodi Sundowns to a goalless draw in the first leg of their MTN8 semi-final.
However, they may regret not finishing the chances they created. Potentially wasting a chance to take the lead in the tie after some excellent defence.
Their defence was so well structured and excellent that they prevented The Brazilians from registering a single shot on target – for the first time in MTN8 history!
If they can hold the same shape and hard work off the ball in the second leg then they will be in with a good chance of knocking the MTN8 champions out and reaching the final.
