Orlando Pirates Face TS Galaxy With Mofokeng Doubtful

Orlando Pirates head into Tuesday’s Betway Premiership clash against TS Galaxy with injury concerns, as star youngster Relebohile Mofokeng is listed as doubtful. The club confirmed on their official website that Mofokeng, who missed Saturday’s 4-0 CAF Champions League win over Lioli, may not feature in the match.

The 20-year-old has been a key creative force for the Buccaneers, providing energy and attacking impetus in the final third. His potential absence could limit Pirates’ options as they aim to maintain their domestic momentum.

Pirates are currently on a four-match winning streak in the Premiership, a run that has lifted them into the top half of the table following a slow start to the season. The team has also enjoyed six consecutive wins across all competitions, including their emphatic continental victory against Lesotho champions Lioli.

TS Galaxy arrive in Orlando with a reputation for disciplined defending and organised play, making them one of the more challenging opponents in the league this season. The match is expected to be closely contested, testing Pirates’ ability to break down a stubborn defence.

Coach Abdeslam Ouaddou may need to rely on other creative options if Mofokeng is unavailable. The game at Orlando Stadium will be another critical step in Pirates’ campaign as they aim to sustain their winning run and climb higher in the Premiership standings.
