‘It’s A Big Loss For Sundowns & South Africa’
Mamelodi Sundowns got back to winning ways on Wednesday night, but the victory was overshadowed by some big injury news after the game.
Full-back Khuliso Mudau was stretchered off just before the halftime break and replaced by Zuko Mdunyelwa in the 2-0 win over Marumo Gallants.
“Yeah, I think after 25 minutes that we played very, very well because of the start was very good. We lost a bit of a cushion in the team, but it’s normal if you look a lot of these team some still need to develop to manage moments but I think we did well. We did very well the way we came back on the second half,” Cardoso told SuperSport after the game.
“Then, when we bring new players the team got a lot of ability and capacity to get the ball, there’s very positives and negative. I think Mudau has a very serious injury, but it’s obvious for a player of calibre, quality it’s a big loss for South Africa and for us especially.
Cardoso also confirmed it was an Achilles injury suffered by the Bafana Bafana full-back.
“Yeah, we believe so unfortunately, very serious injury. No, he got injured outside of the pitch on that action there was no contact, I thought it was the one in the middle,” he added when quizzed by SuperSport about the Achilles.
“But no, it was not, it was here we reviewed the action. This one was not from a tackle, unfortunately Teboho is not ok from that first match.
“But no this was absolutely no occasion, it happens, there are accidents in F1, incidents in Football, it’s a big loss, let’s hope the other rise for the challenge ahead,” Cardoso said.
