Chiukepo Msowoya not in Orlando Pirates squad

Msowoya not in Bucs squad today

Posted: 2010-09-08 09:30

Orlando Pirates have suffered a blow after inform Malawian striker Chiukepo Msowoya failed to train with the team this week ahead of today's League match against Free State Stars at the FNB Stadium. 

Msowoya only arrived back in the country on Tuesday. He scored to help his country secure a point away from home when Malawi drew 2-2 against Tunisia in the Afcon qualifier game at the weekend.
 
However, the Malawian striker is confident of fighting his way back into the team when the Mighty Buccaneers meet Kaizer Chiefs in the Soweto Derby on the weekend.
 
"It was nice to score again for my country and I hope to continue doing the same for Orlando Pirates.
 
"I would have loved to be part of the team against Free State Stars but couldn't train with them this week as I only arrived on Tuesday."
 
However, despite the absence of Msowoya, good news for the Ghost is that Nigerian striker Ezenwa Otorogu is set to be available for selection for Pirates after receiving his work permit.
 
Meanwhile, further news from Malawi is that an English Championship club is reported to be tracking Msowoya.

Reports are that scouts from an English outfit that has not been named were dispatched to watch Malawi play Tunisia in the 2012 African Nations Cup qualifier at the weekend and to particularly assess the 21-year-old player.

"An English scout for a championship club came to watch Malawi play Tunisia in Tunis. Apparently they were tracking Chiukepo," said a Malawi football official.

"They will possibly keep on tracking him at his club and national duties. He is a sensation," the official told Nyasa Times.

Chiukepo whois a sharp goal shooter, was on the score sheet helping Malawi to a 2-2 draw with Tunisia.

"I am very happy that I have once again contributed to the team and helped my country get at least a draw against Tunisia," Msowoya says on OPFC’s website.

"Look, it’s not easy to come back from behind against a team of Tunisia’s calibre, but we did it because we want to see ourselves playing in the 2012 Afcon finals.

"It was a good goal, one for the archives of course," he said of his 35-meter strike.

"Altogether, I think the goal came at the right time just when I am starting to find my footing at the club."

"It’s a huge confidence booster and I hope it paves way for my first goal for Pirates which I hope to score very soon."

Undisputed Double-Trebble Champ Mopheme: 2010-09-08 10:40

So we are stark with Mabena. This guy will cause Krol his job if he rely to him too much, if he is not careful. Mabena can't even trap the ball.

useless msowoya

dick: 2010-09-08 11:03

The strikers that the ghosh has signed they are both useless, they can't shoot I smell disaster this season for pirates they won't win even a single cup, the mopani cup was theirs but they fail to win until supersport showed them how to do it. They are going to loose tonight, if not loose its a goaless draw...useless pie-city they will even losse to Amakhosi saturday night...shappa free state stars and chiefs shappa....

Tolly-ba-Thathe : 2010-09-08 11:12

Some people are commenting because at their work they don't know what to do with internet so they use that to their advantage. Thabang is the first one and his information is baseless and inaccurate but m not suprised and m not going to blame you but the team you support. Let me inform you now. Zvenyika, Letlhohonolo and Dennis have all being issued with permanent residence since they have played in the country for more than a year so they are not regarded as foreigners any more...huuuuu...some people!

Go and research papa and perhaps and advice, before you focus on OPFC affairs please check your club's first.

Amen

dear Bucaneers,
Don't worry about Msowowa's absence in tonight's match against Free State Stars. Otorogu will get a chance to prove that his super performance in Telkom Charity was not a fluke. Then Msowowa will be available to score for the first time at the expense of Amakhosi.

If our opponents will tightly mark Otorogu or Msowowa, then that's when Bucs midfielders will score many goals. I'm talking about midfielders who knows how to score goals, namely Klate, Segolela, Chansa and Mbuyani/Schalkwyk (I don't care who is selected by krol).

Don't forget that the presence of Lekgwathi in the opponent box during set-pieces is highly felt by opponents.

Pirates and Chiefs have the dumbest fans.

Tivani wanted us to know that he has Dstv or his neighbour has one...

Just when you think that is not enough Thabang and Tolly-ba-Thathe are doing their own impression of "The Dumb and The Dumber"

glad: 2010-09-08 12:50

some people like Thabang just spend lot of time on this website for what i dont know. cos nothing constructive comes from their minds. always with negative comments. wena Thabanga grow up...dont use ur a$$ to think!!

Champ "Superbrand": 2010-09-08 13:54

@alphar,

I agree with you, you cant keep Teko on the bench if you are serious about the league. Mbuyane is a good player but not as a striker, as for Mabena, after his display against vasco, I felt he is not a Pirates material, but then Matatazela out done him by missing chances for bafana bafana, chances even mushini's mother would have scored. Maybe Mabena deserve another chance on that note.

KidKudu7: 2010-09-08 20:37

...and Ruud Krol is sidelining a striker of this calibre, nxxx hayi maar unjani wena Krol, hahh??

We need lethal strikers to help us collect the points in order to win the Premier Soccer League title this season. Got it!!!
