Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro could have a selection headache ahead of the team's next match in the CAF Champions League.
The Buccaneers will be in Ivory Coast to face Stade d'Abidjan in their next Champions League fixture this coming Saturday aiming to topple Group leaders Al Ahly, although the two sides are on same numbers of points but separated by goal difference.

In their previous fixture in Orlando on Saturday against Ahly, Riveiro surprisingly had Monnapule Saleng back in the starting line-up after he missed some of the recent matches.
The 26-year-old's return meant that young Mohau Nkota, who has been on form for Bucs, was relegated to the bench despite having scored two goals in the previous fixture against CR Belouizdad which Bucs won 2-1.
Indications are that Riveiro could be tempted to bring back Nkota to start on Saturday although the tactician was also satisfied with Saleng's contribution.

"It can be a headache if you want to put it that way, but it's a good selection headache for the coach. The youngster (Nkota) has been doing well, and him starting on the bench in the previous game doesn't mean that there was something wrong, it was just the coach's decision. He stands a chance to be back in the starting line-up," said the source.
Nkota played the last 20 minutes against Ahly, having come on for Deon Hotto, while Saleng was on the park for the whole match and was commended by Riveiro for his performance.
