Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has admitted he is happy with the return of his two defenders, Thabiso Sesane and Olisah Ndah.
Sesane made his return to the field of play for the first time since February 2025, while Ndah played his first match since September 2024.
Ouaddou was pleased with their performance stating that they needed them and this was the right opportunity to play them, while he also emphasised that the duo worked very hard.
“It was so important for them, so important for us. You know that we have big squad. But unfortunately, it’s difficult for me to make some choices, because I can put only 11 players on the team sheet,” Ouaddou told the media.
“And if Mr. Infantino change the law in the in the in the next years or next few months, it will be easier for me to put more players.
“But they always know that they are very important for me. All these players that you have seen today, they are working hard in training, close communication with them to tell them that they are very important for us.
“And maybe at the end of the season, some of these players that we have seen can help us to be successful.
“So, they’ve been professional for a while, for a long time, and today I had the opportunity to give them chance, and they show it in a fantastic way.
“I’m very happy for them, and they need to continue that like that, and to challenge for a regular place.”
