Krol keen to keep 'idle' Mongala

The speedy winger has been sidelined at Pirates but the coach has said at the moment he will stay put at the club. So far, Mongala has watched most Premier League action from the terraces this season. He recently opened up saying he was considering a loan move away from the Soweto giants, with his gripe being lack of game time.

However, his Dutch mentor is not thinking of letting him go as yet. Krol believes Mzambiya is talented enough to fight his way into the Buccaneers team. "I cannot say I will loan him out right now, he is a good player and we need him at Pirates. It is all up to him to continue working hard, you never know what will happen - this is football," said an evasive Krol.
