Mamelodi Sundowns star Marcelo Allende has revealed how the dressing room has been dealing with the workload of playing so many matches.

Allende revealed that he and his teammates have all welcomed the rotation within the squad, given the heavy fixture schedule.

Sundowns are competing in eight competitions this season: the Betway Premiership, MTN8, Carling Knockout, Nedbank Cup, CAF Champions League, CAF Super Cup, and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup.

As such, matches have been coming thick and fast, with the club having both the MTN8 final and the Intercontinental Cup on the horizon, particularly the latter, which takes place on Saturday.

Allende recently spoke in an interview on Ringas noCherry, a show on Mamelodi Sundowns TV, revealing that everyone was content with the rotation that has been taking place.

“No, I think it’s it’s everything, you know. You you need to obviously look at yourself,” he said.

“But of course, we have the technical team. So they manage the load of the each player and the good thing is we are Sundowns.

“We have good players, so we can rotate and keep the same rythm and the same quality.

“[We don’t complain] We know we are a good players, everyone. At Sundowns the quality is good so we know that the other one is waiting for the opportunity also,” added the midfielder.
