    Sundowns news & squads

    Doubts still hover over the futures of Lucas Ribeiro and Khuliso Mudau, though seemingly, the club is not willing to let the latter leave, having refused multiple offers. 

    It seems Peter Shalulile is set to continue at the club after what seems like a failed move abroad.

    Arthur Sales might also miss out owing to an injury.

    Sundowns' Probable XI: Williams, Mdunyelwa, Lunga, Kekana, Cupido, Mokoena, Allende, Adams, Letlhaku, Rayners, Shalulile
