A Mamelodi Sundowns striker is believed to have returned to the team ahead of the Betway Premiership opener against Chippa United.
Peter Shalulile was not included in the matchday squad last weekend when Sundowns thrashed Richards Bay FC in the MTN8 quarter-finals.
Insiders close to the Brazilians have now indicated that the Namibian has returned to the team and was part of the travelling squad to Gqeberha for the clash against the Chilli Boys.
“Yes, he is back at with the team. He was here yesterday when the team was going to camp. He is believed to be part of the players who went into camp to fly off to PE today as the game is tomorrow. About playing, I can’t say much as that’s all up to the coach. He is the one who will decide whether he plays or not. But obviously as a professional he has been training on his own though, it’s different when you train with the team, but he has traveled with the traveling squad,” the source said.
Meanwhile, Siya sources have indicated that right-back Khuliso Mudau was also spotted at Chloorkop on Thursday, although it is unsure if he travelled with the team.
“Sailor (Mudau) was also here on (Thursday). He was going to the dressing rooms but I didn’t see him going to the bus with the traveling players. So for Mudau I can’t say whether he traveled or not, but it’s believed that he is also back with the team. You know both Shalulile and Mudau have a one-year option with the team as things stand right now, ” the second source revealed.
Sundowns start the defence of their Betway Premiership title at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Saturday, with the clash scheduled to get underway at 15h00.
