Saleng to return for Orlando Pirates?
Zakhele Lepasa is back from suspension. Monnapule Saleng, Miguel Timm and Relebohile Mofokeng were all substitutes against Sekhukhune, and Saleng wasn’t even used off the bench so he should be fresh. Pirates claimed a narrow 1-0 midweek win against Babina Noko thanks to a goal from marauding right-back Thabiso Monyane. Chiefs, meanwhile, edged a five-goal thriller against Cape Town Spurs with Edson Castillo, Ranga Chivaviro and Christian Saile all on the score sheet.
