Mamelodi Sundowns coach Manqoba Mngqithi has provided an injury update on captain Ronwen Williams and new signing Kegan Johannes.
Both players are yet to feature for Sundowns this season, with Williams still recovering from an operation to a shoulder injury he initially sustained while at the Africa Cup of Nations in January.
Johannes, meanwhile, joined the Brazilians soon after going under the knife for an ankle injury while still with SuperSport United.
Sundowns are next in action in an MTN8 semi-final first leg against Stellenbosch on Wednesday but will have to continue to make do without the duo.
Mngqithi said in the Citizen: “With regards to Kegan, he’s still out for this match. When he came here, he had just done an operation with SuperSport United but he’s very close and he’s beginning to train on the pitch now.
“We’re hoping that in the next few weeks he will start competitive training.”
Mngqithi added: “Ronwen is also very close and he’s now with our biokineticist and it’s just a matter of time before he comes for full training and we’re hoping that in the second leg, he might be there.”
