Ngwenya's advice to Sundowns on 'too many foreign players': As things stand, Mamelodi Sundowns have nine foreign players on their books.

The recent capture of Junior Mendieta from Stellenbosch and Lucas Costa from Belgian side SK Beveren brought the number of foreign players under contract at Chloorkop to nine.Peter Shalulile , Marcelo Allende , Abdelmounaim Boutouil , Abubeker Nassir , Divine Lungu , Godspower Ighodaro and Erwin Saavedra .

This means the Brazilians must do away with four as article 34.2 of the National Soccer League handbook says: “A member club may not have more than five foreign players contracted with it at any point in time.Ngwenya thinks one between injury-prone pair of Nassir and Saavedra must make way, predicting that Lungu and Ighodaro will remain loaned out once again, having spent last season at Golden Arrows and Chippa United respectively.

“I like Nassir a lot but injuries have made it very difficult for him to show his true colours at Sundowns. It’s the same with Saavedra, injuries have troubled him.
