RIVEIRO TIRED OF LORCH QUESTIONS
Riveiro objected to yet another inquiry on Lorch’s enigmatic absence: “I do not comment on injured players or specific athletes. It is not my responsibility to discuss unavailable players prior to the commencement of the season.
“How can that be quantified? Exists a method for determining the extent to which a player’s absence impacts the team? I am unable to respond to your query.
“I couldn’t be happier with players that are excited to play. We have more than enough players, and in preparation for our upcoming match against Cape Town City, I will consider those who did not participate.
There will be stiff competition for starting positions.
Hmm. Currently, there are more questions than answers concerning the Lorch scenario. What are your thoughts, Orlando Pirates fans?
