Zungu rejoined Sundowns on a free transfer soon after parting ways with French outfit Amiens SC, but he has hardly featured.

The 30-year-old has featured in just five matches, including a single start which came in the CAF Champions League against Le Passe in October.

The last time Zungu played for Sundowns was in the Carling Black Label Cup in November, and he even took it a step further to do extra training in an effort to keep himself fit.

Now, according to Rhulani Mokwena, Zungu has had a little setback as he’s currently nursing a suspected groin injury.

MAMELODI SUNDOWNS EXPLAIN BONGANI ZUNGU’S ABSENCE

“Bongani has got a slight setback with a small injury which will pull him back further behind in his progress. It’s a bit of a problem in the pelvic/groin area, the abdominal area, the hernia, it is that type of space. But it is not as serious and he should be ready to go very soon,” Mokwena explained.
