Nigerian defender Olisa Ndah is suspended for Orlando Pirates’ South African PSL match against Cape Town City on Wednesday, March 6, 2024.
Since his return from injury late last-year, the Super Eagle has been an ever-present fixture in the Pirates starting XI but will miss todays game due to accumulated yellow cards.
In his place, skipper Innocent Meala should get the nod of manager Jose Riveiro to start. The Buccaneers returned from their away fixtures still undefeated in the new year and will encounter the Urban Warriors days after securing a hard-fought 1-0 league victory away at Polokwane City.
Just over a week ago, Olisa Ndah made headlines by scoring his first goal for South African club Orlando Pirates, reigniting hopes for a potential return to Nigeria’s Super Eagles squad for upcoming games.
After over four years without finding the net, Ndah finally broke his goal drought in spectacular fashion, securing a 6-0 victory for Orlando Pirates against Crystal Lake FC.
The 26-year-old defender, renowned for his defensive prowess, showcased his offensive abilities with a well-executed header that opened the scoring for his team in the Nedbank Cup clash.
Although Ndah will miss the South African club’s next match due to suspension, his consistent performances in the South African top flight have positioned him as a strong candidate for international selection.
As Nigeria aims to return to the global stage after missing out on the 2022 World Cup, Ndah’s resurgence could offer valuable depth and stability to the Super Eagles’ defensive line.
