Coronavirus: Motale message to Orlando Pirates midfielder Motshwari after positive test

Former Orlando Pirates captain Edward Motale has urged Ben Motshwari to remain calm and focus on recovering after the midfielder tested positive for coronavirus.

The Buccaneers announced on Thursday that the 29-year-old player tested positive for Covid-19 and that he will be isolated for 14 days.

Motale also expressed the need to test all the players before the 2019/20 Premier Soccer League (PSL) season resumes having been halted due to the pandemic two months ago.

“It’s very sad because the boys were given a special training program to train from home and we can’t really speculate now on how he got infected or whether it's internally or from an outside source,” Motale told Goal.
