Mbule returns but Andile Jali MIA!

Mamelodi Sundowns return to action this afternoon when they travel to the Danie Craven Stadium to face Stellenbosch FC.

The Brazilians had just two days of rest between Thursday night’s Nedbank Cup victory over Marumo Gallants and today’s clash.

Do they really need to be fresh though considering their substantial lead atop the Dstv Premiership log standings?

Andile Jali still missing in action for Mamelodi Sundowns

Brazilian duo of Andile Jali and Sipho Mbule have been grabbing the headlines for all the wrong reasons during the past week.

Reports suggest the duo were sent packing from training due to disciplinary issues.

There is however good news for Sipho Mbule, after he was named on the bench for this afternoon’s clash.

As for legendary midfieler Andile Jali who’s linked with a move away from Mamelodi Sundowns, he was nowhere to be seen in their match day squad.

He also wasn’t named amongst their players ineligible for selection due to injury…. Trouble is indeed brewing for the former Bafana Bafana star at Chloorkop!

Mamelodi Sundowns XI: Pieterse, Mudau, Kekana, Lebusa, Mashego, Coetzee, Maema, Ntando, Morena, Shalulile, Domingo.

Subs: Mweene, Boutail, Ngobeni, Modiba, Mokoena, Mbule, Siyanda, Ralani, Mailula.
