Ndah played nine games for Orlando Pirates last season due to an injury, and suffered a setback in his recovery journey…

Super Eagles and Orlando Pirates central defender, Olisa Harold Ndah, didn't travel with his squad for their pre-season preparations in Spain, Soccernet.ng reports.

The 27-year-old fractured his Tibia and Fibula in September 2024 and has been out of action since then. He was initially supposed to return in March 2025, but suffered a setback in his recovery process.

With the Buccaneers now in Spain ahead of the new PSL season under Abdelsam Ouaddou, Ndah's agent, Mike Makaab, has revealed why his client didn't travel with the rest of his teammates.

The one-time NPFL winner has returned to training and should return to action in the coming days when his side returns from Spain.

“No, he[Ndah] is in the final stages of his rehab and strengthening and will join the team in training when they return from camp,” Makaab told Goal when asked whether Ndah was still injured.

Ndah joined the Soweto giants in 2021 from Akwa United and quickly became a central figure in the heart of Pirates' defence, before being appointed their captain.

He'll be hoping to work his way into his side's starting lineup after missing about a year's worth of action due to a fractured leg.
