THE BIGGER PICTURE
Nigeria international Olisa Ndah missed a big part of last season owing to a tibia fracture suffered against Polokwane City in the Premier Soccer League campaign.
The towering 27-year-old Super Eagle is one of the players who have contributed immensely to the club's rise in the last three seasons or so.
With the Spanish tour coming in the next couple of days, it has been confirmed that Ndah is ready for action.
His agent, Mike Makaab, is optimistic his client will not struggle in the 2025/26 edition.
WHAT MAKAAB SAID
“Yes, let’s hope [Ndah] has an injury-free season, all good to go," he responded when asked about the situation of the player.

WHAT NEXT?
In Ndah's absence, Thabiso Sesane cropped up before getting injured along the way, giving a chance to youngster Mbekezeli Mbokazi, who has since made the position his own.
Tapelo Xoki is another defender who will be pushing for a starting berth alongside Nkosinathi Sibisi.
It is interesting to see how Ouaddou will balance his squad in his bid to get positive results consistently.
