Orlando Pirates supporters have noticed Helmy Gueldich’s absence from the first week of preseason training.
The Tunisian strength and conditioning coach, formerly with Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi at Young Africans in Tanzania, has been spotted on a hospital bed.
Gueldich, who was clutch in Jose Riveiro’s five-trophy championship of three MTN8 and two Nedbank Cup titles, is yet to meet up with Orlando Pirates’ new head coach Abdelsam Ouaddou.

Following a leg surgery, Gueldich posted an image on social media with a spirited message. “Alhamdulillah, one knee down but the spirit is still up,” he said. “Step one down. The second comeback begins now. Let’s get stronger. Day by day Champions League Malakas Orlando Pirates,” he concluded.
