Thabiso Sesane remains sidelined with injury, and Orlando Pirates have definitely felt his absence. The talented defender, known as the ‘millennium baby,’ is expected to make his return next season.
Sesane’s Return Could Light Up Pirates’ Defense in August
Sesane started the current campaign in outstanding form, quickly becoming a key figure in Orlando Pirates’ defense. However, his season was abruptly halted in February when he suffered a serious tendon injury. The rupture required surgery, and doctors estimate a recovery period of four to six months. If all goes well with his rehab, Sesane could be ready to step back onto the pitch by the beginning of the 2025-2026 season. Coincidentally, Sesane turned 25 on May 30, marking a milestone birthday amid his recovery journey.
