Orlando Pirates have confirmed that midfielder Thandani Ntshumayelo’s injury is not serious and he will resume training on Monday.

As reported by Soccer-Laduma on Friday, the player has been struggling with a recurring metatarsal injury and the Sea Robbers were sweating on the outcome of scans following the player complaining of severe pain in his foot.

The club, though, has been boosted by the news that ‘Bibo’ simply suffered a knock in their 3-1 win over Mpumalanga Black Aces in the Telkom Knockout and is clear to continue training.

A statement on the club’s official website read, “Midfielder Thandani Ntshumayelo is expected to resume training with the rest of the squad on Monday.

“The hardworking midfielder underwent a series of scans and medical observations yesterday, this after complaining a severe pain on his foot.

“The latest scan results which the club received from a specialist in Johannesburg, revealed that the Free State born midfielder did not sustain any structural damage to his foot, and is therefore fit to train with the rest of the squad from next Monday.”

Quoting the report, the official site confirmed that “no damage or reoccurrence of his previous injury was picked up during the scan. The pain he felt was due to a knock he sustained which is nothing serious.”
