Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro has refused to comment on whether midfielder Monnapule Saleng will be available for tomorrow’s CAF Champions League clash against Stade d’Abidjan at Orlando Stadium.
The 26-year-old speedy winger last featured for the Buccaneers a month ago in their 0-0 stalemate against Al Ahly and has since missed three matches across all competitions including Pirates’ 1-1 draw against d’Abidjan in Ivory Coast two weeks ago.

Ahead of the Buccaneers’ clash eSgodini, Riveiro kept his cards very close to his chest when quizzed if would play any part in the match.
“Obviously, I’m not gonna tell you 24 hours before the match who is available or who’s not,” Riveiro said.
“First, because we still have a training session in 30 minutes, so once we finish the training, we will know who is available and who is not.
“You will probably understand I’m not gonna say anything about who’s gonna be in the 20 or the starting XI or who is not available tomorrow because those small things are also playing the game for our opponents who like to know who’s gonna play.
