Orlando-PiratesKickOff's Siya Ndlela spent Tuesday morning with Orlando Pirates as they finalise preparations for the opening match of the season, as he observed three important updates from the session. Pirates kick off the defence of their Betway Premiership title with a clash against Milford FC at the Orlando Amstel Arena on Saturday (15:00). Despite the Norwegian's absence from the training pitch, head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has already spoken highly of his attributes, indicating he will be key in their attack this season. The 19-year-old was initially signed last year before being loaned back to Baroka FC last season to gain valuable competitive minutes. Long-term injury casualties, who included Tapelo Xoki and Masindi Nemtajela, have made full recoveries and were heavily involved in the latest full training session.
