Ndlovu Laments Sundowns' Missing Stars
Former Mamelodi Sundowns striker Sandile 'AK-47' Ndlovu has expressed concern over the absence of key players like Lucas Ribeiro Costa and Khuliso Mudau. Ndlovu believes their absence was noticeable in Sundowns' recent draw against Chippa United. He highlighted Ribeiro's ability to create something out of nothing and steal games for the team. "The absence of Ribeiro and Mudau has hit Sundowns very hard. Their gap is visible," Ndlovu stated.
Can Sundowns Bounce Back?
With AmaZulu FC posing a tough challenge, Sundowns will need to find a way to compensate for the missing players. Ndlovu remains optimistic, believing that Sundowns' core strength will allow them to bounce back. However, he also acknowledged that other PSL teams have raised their game, making the competition tougher than ever. The game against AmaZulu FC is scheduled for 19:30 tonight.
