Orlando Pirates fans have been given a major boost ahead of the MTN8 quarterfinal showdown at a sold-out Orlando Stadium on Saturday, as Olisa Ndah was spotted back in full training with the squad.
The towering Nigerian centre-back, who has endured a frustrating spell on the sidelines due to injury, featured prominently in the latest training session photos shared by the club on X (formerly Twitter). Pirates captioned the post:
“Last touches before the #MTN8 QF.”
