One of Orlando Pirates’ most important players will miss the team’s final two league games as well as the Nedbank Cup final.
One of the Orlando Pirates’ primary players will miss the remainder of the season due to injury.
TS Galaxy will be the opponent for Pirates as they continue to push for second place in the DStv Premiership.
The Pirate Galaxy Challenge
Stellenbosch FC, who presently hold the second and final CAF Champions League spot, is just one point away from Pirates.
Pirates’ last away game of the season will be against Galaxy. Even though traveling to Mbombela can be challenging, their goal is to win all three points. The Buccaneers’ prior performance makes a victory essential. They were shocked to lose 1-0 to Richards Bay FC, who defeated the Soweto giants to at least secure a playoff position.
They will also be aware that Stellenbosch will be taking on the enormous task of Mamelodi Sundowns concurrently. Based on Sundowns’ performance thus far in the league—they have not lost—the Cape Winelands team is probably going to give up points. That ought to encourage Pirates even more to make sure they score the most points possible in order to win the race.
For the remainder of the season, Xoki was out.
Unfortunately, though, the absence of Tapelo Xoki, a team captain in defense, will have an impact on their performance.
The central defender has been ruled out owing to a significant ankle injury sustained during training, according to the Pirates website. They go on to add that he will require surgery to treat the damage, which implies he won’t be back for very long.
Miguel Timm is another injury issue for the Pirates in addition to Xoki. It’s thought that the central midfielder is dealing with a niggle. That will keep him out of the Galaxy game, at the very least.
The Galaxy vs. Pirates match is scheduled to begin at 15:00 on Saturday.
