Orlando Pirates youngster Relebohile Mofokeng set to miss second consecutive match

South African international Relebohile Mofokeng remains a major doubt for Orlando Pirates upcoming clash against TS Galaxy in the top-flight.

In a high-stake clash on Tuesday, the Soweto giants will play host to TS Galaxy at the Orlando Stadium in the South African Premier League.

However, Orlando Pirates in a statement confirmed Mofokeng is a doubt for the clash, having previously missed the side’s last game against Lioli FC due to an injury setback.

In his absence, Orlando Pirates managed to secure a resounding 4-0 victory over Lioli FC in the CAF Champions League preliminary round.

“They have some injury concerns heading into the fixture, with Relebohile Mofokeng among the doubtful starters for Tuesday’s match after sitting out the clash against Lioli,” Orlando Pirates stated.

The 20-year-old winger has been the subject of interest from abroad after scoring 12 goals and laying 15 assists last season.

Nevertheless, the Buccaneers’ options on the wings have shown they can continue with business without Mofokeng. Tshapeng Moremi has scored five goals in 10 games, while Oswin Appollis has scored three times and delivered four assists in 10 appearances.
