Abdeslam Ouaddou Provides Key Injury Updates on Relebohile Mofokeng and Olisa Ndah
Orlando Pirates manager Abdeslam Ouaddou has shared update about the injury status of both Olisa Ndah and Relebohile Mofokeng ahead of their next game this weekend.
The Sea Robbers are set to face Lioli FC in the second leg of their CAF Champions League preliminary round after winning the first leg last weekend.
Ouaddou gives update on Mofokeng and Ndah
Ouaddou revealed that the club is still waiting for an update from the medical team regarding Relebohile Mofokeng’s fitness and availability for selection.
“I still need to consult with the medical department to get clarity on his situation,” he explained. “Rele is a crucial player for us, but until we have feedback from the medical staff, I can’t provide any further details.”
The Pirates coach also expressed his joy at seeing Olisa Ndah back on the pitch on Friday but admitted that the Nigerian defender is not yet fully fit for competitive action.

“I’m very happy to see him in the dressing room and back on the field,” Ouaddou said. “He’s been undergoing treatment for the past few weeks, and with players of his calibre, we need to be cautious and avoid rushing him back too soon.
“I’m fortunate to have several quality defenders — the captain Nkosinathi Sibisi, Mbekezeli Mbokazi, Lebone Seema, Ndah, and others. We expect him to return soon, and by then, he’ll be at 100%. Once he’s fully fit, I’m confident he’ll make a significant contribution to the team.”
