Khuliso Mudau’s achilles injury is a major setback for Mamelodi Sundowns, but its impact could be even greater for Bafana Bafana with the start of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign now only a month away.
The right-back ruptured his achilles against Marumo Gallants in midweek and is reportedly facing at least six to seven months on the sidelines.
For Sundowns, losing one of their most experienced players is undoubtedly significant. But Miguel Cardoso has the depth to find alternatives.
Bafana do not have the same luxury.
