Midfielder Teboho Mokoena is set to make a timely return for Mamelodi Sundowns when they take on ES Tunis in the second leg of the CAF Champions League semi-final in Tshwane on Friday.
Mamelodi Sundowns will return to domestic duty on Tuesday with a new record in mind as they move closer to sealing their seventh league title in a row.
Mamelodi Sundowns are not only in danger of elimination in the CAF Champions League but their spot in the 2025 FIFA Club is also in jeopardy after defeat against Esperance.
Rulani Mokwena has added his voice to the debate around some recent controversial decisions from match officials, including the awarding of a penalty during Mamelodi Sundowns' victory over Cape Town Spurs.
Mamelodi Sundowns will be up against a side with almost similar ambitions in Esperance de Tunis, in the CAF Champions League semi-finals, as expressed by head coach Miguel Cardoso.
