The Bafana Bafana midfielder asked to come off after scoring a goal against Moroka Swallows in the DSTV Premiership on Monday night. It appeared that he had a tight muscle in the hamstring area. With Sundowns competing on three fronts, the club aims to prevent many of their players from getting injured unnecessarily. This is especially important to avoid exacerbating injuries by continuing to play in pain.
Sundowns were eliminated in the semi-finals by Wydad Casablanca, but they now have a chance to make up for last season’s disappointment. Similar to last season, their first leg semi-final will be played away from home. However, they will have the opportunity to secure a spot in the final in the return leg on home soil. *Please note that I did not include the phrase about the new online stadium mentioned in the original text.
