Motshwari will beat coronavirus – Mosimane

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane has joined the choir of football players who wished Orlando Pirates star Ben Motshwari a speedy recovery.


The midfielder tested positive for Covid-19 after presenting with flu-like symptoms, which prompted the club to send him to the doctor for tests.

Pirates revealed the player was self-isolating at home and would be tested against after 14 days before he was cleared to leave his house.

Mosimane offered words of encouragement to the player to stay strong and focus on getting better so he could be back on the field.

“Midfield Maestro! Buccaneer, you have too much resistance and strength to withstand this virus. I want to see you back on the pitch doing what you famous for,” read a tweet from Mosimane after Pirates announced the midfielder tested positive for Covid-19.
