Ronwen Update: GK Dilemma For Sundowns

Ronwen Update: GK Dilemma For Sundowns

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso does not know when he'll have Ronwen Williams available again. 

Williams has not been available in Sundowns' four matches in all competitions, with the club revealing that he picked up an injury.

Sundowns host Kaizer Chiefs at Lucas Moripe Stadium on Saturday and Cardoso will have to decide on whether he keeps Jody February in goal or not.

Against Sekhukhune United on Wednesday evening, the former Ajax Cape Town goalkeeper played a role in the goals Sundowns conceded, in moments where he could have done better to clear his lines. Sundowns won 4-2, but there could be concern over the performance of February, who has not seen a lot of action.

Denis Onyango, who is the second choice, is expected to be out again as he will be serving the final game of his three-match suspension, after picking up his second red card of the campaign against Marumo Gallants recently. 

Should Cardoso decide against picking February, then he has Reyaad Pieterse and Sanele Tshabalala as options. Tshabalala has been on the bench ahead of Pieterse in the last two matches and could get to make his first appearance of the campaign if the technical team decides to make a change between the sticks. 

Speaking to media after the victory over Babina Noko, Cardoso revealed that he is waiting to hear from the medical team about Williams.

"Regarding Ronwen (Williams), we don't know when he will come back. We hope very quickly, but in the moment I am waiting for something from the medical department. Today is a matchday that I don't usually worry about players that are not on the list, so we hope that he comes as quick as possible," Cardoso said at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium on Wednesday evening.

Sundowns, though, have shown that they can outscore their opponents, so their attackers will have a big role to play against Amakhosi.
