Questionable discipline is deadly for one’s career. Orlando Pirates are expected to part ways with the Angolan international Gilberto.

After making just three starts in the first round of the season, the Buccaneers decided to loan out Gilberto back to Petro de Luanda in January. According to KickOff, the 24-year-old winger has become a party body of note. “Concerns have been raised about his fitness condition and lifestyle choices,” the outlet reported.

“A video has recently been circulating of him lying on the floor shirtless conversing with two females while holding a bottle of tequila in a room with plenty other alcoholic beverages,” the publication added.

“Contacts in Luanda have told this publication that such videos are damaging to his image as a professional footballer.

“His fitness level and physical appearance have been questioned by some of Petro’s fan base.”
