Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso has revealed which players he expects back from injury “quite quickly”.

Sundowns have a few players out with injury at the moment, but they look set to receive a major boost as Cardoso confirmed that there are three players who could make a return to the team soon.

The reigning champions take on AmaZulu a day before Christmas at Moses Mabhida Stadium and Cardoso is hoping to have more options to pick from in his squad. 

“There are a few that are coming back quickly. Tashreeq (Matthews) is coming back quite quickly. (Grant) Kekana is coming back for sure quite quickly. Mosa (Lebusa) we expect him to come quickly back,” the former Esperance coach said.

“There are long term injuries that we have to wait for them, like Themba (Zwane) and (Rivaldo) Coetzee. But they will come at the right time. For those, we need to provide the rest they need.”
