Saleng was last in action in an official match for the Buccaneers in December during their first leg CAF Champions League match against Al Ahly in Orlando.
Despite his absence, the 26-year-old Bloemhof-born attacker remains one of the key players for Bucs, with his possible return to coach Jose Riveiro's matchday squads now bandied about.
"He is a Pirates player and like any player who is fit and ready he will always be available for selection. He will be back with the team soon to continue from where he left off with his contribution," said the source.
