Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi has provided an update regarding Gaston Sirino’s injury.
Sirino picked up a nasal fracture injury during the first half in Masandawana’s CAF Champions League game against Al Hilal on Friday at Royal Bafokeng Stadium.
Mngqithi has now provided another update, after the club had first confirmed after the match that the Uruguayan will undergo surgery.
“Yeah, it’s sad that when he was really beginning to come back very strong and really showing very good signs, even in training, we have to lose him out in a manner that we did,” Mngqithi told club’s media department.
“But fortunately, he has already done an operation and the doctors have promised that it might be two to three weeks situation for him being outside of football.
“So we’re hoping that maybe when we come back from Ahly, he might be in a very good space to assist the team going forward. But we do wish him a very speedy recovery because we know he’s a very important member of our team.”
