Mokwena worried about fitness of Sundowns’ Bafana stars

'Ronza is struggling with a shoulder injury ... and Tebza is struggling with a knee and they've had them since the Afcon,' said the Sundowns head coach.

First choice goalkeeper and Bafana Bafana captain Ronwen Williams was not in the matchday squad. Reigning PSL Footballer of Season Teboho Mokoena as well as the evergreen Themba Zwane were also given a break. “It’s tough because Ronza is struggling with a shoulder injury and we’ve got a very important Champions League game and Tebza is struggling with a knee and they’ve had them since the Afcon,” he stressed.“It’s only now that we have Mothobi Mvala back and Sailor is also back but we still have a problem with Thapelo Maseko who also got the injury at the Afcon. We try to protect our players as best as we can. A rest is important so that they can minus the load.

“They were rested because they’ve got niggling injuries and that’s really the truth. Are the injuries strong enough to keep them away from Bafana Bafana? I don’t know,” Mokwena responded.
