Mamelodi Sundown will have to navigate their upcoming fixture against Sekhukhune United without two of their most potent attacking threats. Head coach Miguel Cardoso has confirmed that both Monnapule Saleng and Arthur Sales remain sidelined as they continue to recover from their respective injuries.
The Attackers Remain in the Treatment Room
Speaking ahead of the highly anticipated encounter, Cardoso expressed disappointment but emphasized the need for caution regarding the duo’s fitness.
- Monnapule Saleng: The influential winger, known for his pace and clinical finishing, will miss this match.
- Arthur Sales: The Brazilian forward remains unavailable, leaving a void in the Sundown’ frontline that Cardoso will need to fill with his squad depth.
Cardoso Sticking to the Plan
While Cardoso did not provide a specific timeline for their return, he confirmed that neither player has been cleared by the medical team to feature this week.
“They are still injured,” Cardoso stated briefly, shifting focus to the players currently available. The absences mean the pressure will fall on the likes of Bryan Leon and Adams to provide the offensive spark against a disciplined Sekhukhune defense.
