“I’m a bit disappointed because Modiba comes back with an injury,” Mokwena said on Friday.
“And the information I get is that there was already the pain and he still had to play 90 minutes on an artificial turf like that in Rwanda, with the rain and all of that with an injury.

“Now we might have Modiba out for a little bit more time. Mothobi now comes back also from Bafana with an injury, so that also for me is always a worry because I haven’t had Mothobi Mvala on the pitch today,” said Rulani Mokwena.
Sundowns have been hit by injuries this season, but with the depth they have in their squad, they team is hardly affected.

“So from a periodization perspective it’s very difficult because we gain some players like Lucas [Ribeiro], Peter [Shalulile] and Sipho Mbule, which is fine but then we also lose some players now with Modiba and Mvala,” Rulani said.
