Bucs' Ndah Back! Ready for MTN8 Title Defence After Injury Hell!
Orlando Pirates defender Olisa Ndah is back and raring to go! After a frustrating spell on the sidelines due to a persistent injury, the Nigerian international has declared himself fully fit and ready to contribute to the Buccaneers' MTN8 title defence.
Ndah's return is a massive boost for Pirates as they prepare to face Polokwane City at Orlando Stadium in their MTN8 opener. His absence was keenly felt last season, and his presence will undoubtedly strengthen the team's backline.
Ndah's Long Road Back
The 26-year-old has described his injury recovery as a “tough journey,” but he's now feeling “stronger than ever.” He missed the team's pre-season tour in Spain, further highlighting the extent of his injury woes. “It feels like I’m debuting all over again because it has been so long,” Ndah told eNCA, emphasizing his eagerness to return to competitive football.
Missing the Matchday Buzz
Ndah also spoke about missing the electrifying atmosphere of matchdays. “I missed everything – the noise, the intensity, the energy from the fans. I can’t wait to experience that again.” His return promises to inject renewed energy and passion into the Pirates' squad.
Eyes on a Fourth Consecutive Title
Orlando Pirates are aiming for an unprecedented fourth consecutive MTN8 title. Ndah is determined to play a key role in achieving this historic feat. “The hunger never goes away,” he stated. “This season, we’re aiming for everything on offer.”
The Buccaneers are under pressure to maintain their dominance in the competition. With Ndah back in the fold, their chances of lifting the trophy once again have significantly improved. The clash against Polokwane City will be a crucial test of their ambitions.
The Orlando Pirates recently showed off their new wheels in partnership with Suzuki South Africa. This new partnership is a welcome addition to the team.
