Cardoso Reveals Truth About Mothiba Links

Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Miguel Cardoso has confirmed Lebo Mothiba is currently training with the club but cannot help the team in the short term as he is still recovering from his long-term injury.

Mothiba, 28, has been without a club since leaving Racing Strasbourg in July and had recently been with Rulani Mokwena at Wydad Athletic Club.

However, after leaving Wydad, the towering striker was pictured in Sundowns training, leading to speculation he could rejoin his former club.

Cardoso did confirm that the player is training at the club but insisted he will need time to regain his fitness levels, as he is still in the recovery process following his serious knee injury.

“Let me make it clear, Lebo Mothiba will not help the team in the nearest months because he’s not in condition,” he said after his side’s 1-1 draw with AS FAR on Sunday.

“He comes from a long period of injury, so we should not even think about him helping the team in the moment.

“He’s not on that process. He is working with us but it’s a medium/long-term plan. He’s one year without playing, he had a big surgery, he’s recovering his condition – still many questions on the process.

“He is a wonderful person and a wonderful player, but everybody, even ourselves, we cannot put any pressure on him.

“So, let’s see what will happen with him.”
