Orlando Pirates coach Milutin 'Micho' Sredojevic is backing out-of-favour Zimbabwe international Marshall Munetsi to eventually battle back into the team.
Munetsi has found his playing time curtailed since the start of the campaign, with matters turning so desperate that he now spends more time twitching his fingers on the terraces than he does trying to influence play on the pitch.
It is a far cry from the second half of last season, when the versatile 22-year-old emerged from nowhere to become one of Sredojevic's most reliable troops.
However, the Serbian coach is confident that the gangling star can bounce back at the Soweto giants.
