Sundowns battle injury concerns ahead of Nedbank Cup semi-final


Mamelodi Sundowns could be missing Jose Ali Meza, Ricardo Nascimento, and Denis Onyango for the Nedbank Cup semi-final against Bidvest Wits.

Masandawana will take on the Clever Boys at Orlando Stadium at 7pm on Saturday to battle it out for a spot in the Nedbank Cup final.

Sundowns head coach Pitso Mosimane has revealed that his side will likely be without Meza, Nascimento, and Onyango, who are all struggling with injuries.

“We have Ali Meza injured, the next two days will give us a chance to see if he is available. Dennis has a niggling injury also,” Mosimane told SuperSport.

“There should never be a challenge with the number of games, I hear people saying, ‘no. but you are used to playing so many games in a short space of time’. And that is right, but we usually play with a base of three and a half months of playing regularly.

“Now we don’t have that, so let’s see what happens with injuries and whether the body is ready. We have to manage the players.”
