Sundowns' Themba Zwane Ruled Out for About a Month With Grade-Two Muscle Injury

Coach Miguel Cardoso says the 36-year-old will be managed cautiously on his return.

Overview

  • Cardoso confirmed the diagnosis and timeline, saying Zwane faces a layoff of roughly a month.
  • Based on that window, reports indicate he is likely to miss Durban City, Golden Arrows, Richards Bay and Sekhukhune United, with doubt lingering over an early November meeting with Orlando Pirates.
  • Zwane had only just returned in a 3-0 win over Magesi FC before leaving the match after suffering the latest setback.
  • He had already missed six fixtures across competitions following a setback in the first leg of the MTN8 semi-final against Orlando Pirates.
  • His recent minutes have been limited under Cardoso, with Marcel Allende and Jayden Adams featuring more regularly in his position.
