Orlando Pirates midfielder Kabelo Dlamini has yet to make an appearance for the club this season despite reportedly participating in training and having no injury concerns publicly reported.
The midfielder’s continued absence has prompted questions among supporters, particularly with the Buccaneers preparing for their important CAF Champions League qualifying encounter against African Stars.
Dlamini’s availability has become a talking point as Pirates look to secure qualification for the group stages of the continental competition. His experience and technical ability could provide the team with another option in midfield as the coaching staff considers its selection for the upcoming fixture.
However, the reasons behind his lack of playing time have not been confirmed. While there have been no reported injury concerns, this does not necessarily establish why he has not featured in competitive matches.
Pirates supporters will be hoping to see the midfielder receive an opportunity to contribute as the club continues its campaign across domestic and continental competitions.
Whether Dlamini will be included in the matchday squad against African Stars remains uncertain, with the final team selection expected to depend on the coach’s tactical plans and assessment of available players.
His situation has also sparked debate among fans about whether he deserves an opportunity to prove himself on the pitch.
Should Orlando Pirates give Kabelo Dlamini a chance against African Stars, or should the coaching staff stick with its current midfield options?
