Andile Jali blow for Pirates

Johannesburg - Orlando Pirates midfielder Andile Jali will not play any competitive football at least until March next year, the club has announced.

This is according to further tests the industrious midfielder underwent last week (at an orthopaedic surgeon) which revealed further complications on his injured shoulder.

The club medical team confirmed to the club's official website on Sunday that Jali’s injury is quite sensitive and he will be out for at least six months.

Jali was ruled out of Orlando Pirates’ crunch match against Egyptian giants Al Ahly at the weekend. The midfielder injured his shoulder last week in the match against Polokwane City.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
