Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso has given latest update on the injuries of Themba Zwane, Mothobi Mvala, Lebo Mothiba, Rivaldo Coetzee and Siyabonga Mabena.
Bafana Ba Style players have been sidelined for a significant period due to injuries sustained in the past year.
While Zwane returned to training at the start of the year, coach Cardoso states he is still not fit enough to play.
Meanwhile, Cardoso added that Mvala and Mothiba have completed their recovery “100%”. Coetzee and Mabena are also back in training but are not yet close to a return to competitive action.

“Regarding the players that are still out of the group, Themba is almost there. But, he's still not in a condition to participate in this match and not even in the second one,” explained Cardoso as quoted by FARPost.
“But also Mothobi [Mvala] and [Lebo] Mothiba. Indeed, we feel that they are quite close. We feel that they are quite close, for you to be clear. We are now in the moment where they have already trained 100% with the group, with the exception of Mothiba, Rivaldo [Coetzee], and young [Siyabonga] Mabena.”
“Now we're going to prepare to give them a stimulus of the game, not official games, because they should not participate in an official game before they have had the chance to play in a friendly.”
