Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has addressed Jabvelo Dlamini’s recent absence. The versatile midfielder has missed several weeks of action.
However, local outlets claim Dlamini has signed a pre-contract with Kaizer Chiefs. Those reports have sparked speculation about his future.
Ouaddou dismissed the rumours and clarified the situation. “Dlamini is injured at the moment. I don’t know if you know about that. It’s been about three weeks since he had the injury. But he’s coming back, and he’s in rehabilitation,” said Ouaddou.
Therefore, the coach insists the midfielder remains sidelined due to injury. He also confirmed that Dlamini continues his recovery programme.
Masilela Urges Chiefs to Make a Move
Meanwhile, former Bafana Bafana and Kaizer Chiefs defender Tsepo Masilela weighed in. He believes Chiefs should move quickly to sign the 29-year-old.
Masilela argues that Dlamini would transform the Chiefs midfield. “If I look at the Kaizer Chiefs midfield, I think he brings a different dimension. He can play as a No.10 or as a No.8. On set-pieces, he’s deadly, especially from free-kicks,” said Masilela on the SoccerBeat podcast.
Furthermore, Masilela compared Dlamini to a club legend. “It’s been a while since I’ve seen a player as good as he is. The last one was Shabba (Siphiwe Tshabalala). You need a player who can bail you out with free-kicks, and he’s that kind of player,” added the former Bafana Bafana left-back.
As a result, the transfer speculation continues to intensify.
