Orlando Pirates, ahead of their upcoming crucial match against Esperance de Tunis in the CAF Champions League semi-final, has suffered a setback with the loss of central defender Siyabonga Sangweni. Sangweni sustained an ankle injury during a recent match against Black Aces, forcing him to leave the field. The extent of the injury and the duration of his absence will be determined after additional examinations.
The absence of Sangweni raises concerns about his availability for the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Esperance de Tunis. In the first leg, played on October 5, Esperance secured a draw on Orlando Pirates’ turf, positioning themselves well for qualification to the final.
