Orlando Pirates full-back Thabiso Lebitso has downplayed his recent game-time struggles, insisting the team comes first as they push to win what would be their first league title since the 2011/12 season.
Lebitso was Pirates first-choice right-back at the start of the current campaign, but hes since fallen down the pecking order behind Kamogelo Sebelebele and Deano van Rooyen. Injuries are also partly to blame for Lebitsos recent struggles for game time.
When you are playing for Orlando Pirates, its important to support the next one thats playing at that particular time, so when I was playing regularly at the start of the season it was my time, Lebitso said during Pirates visit at the Zodwa Khoza Foundation Centre in Diepkloof, Soweto, on Wednesday.
