Mamelodi Sundowns could be without a number of players for their Champions League Group B opener against Algerian side ES Setif on Saturday.

According to the Mamelodi Sundowns website, midfielder Hlompho Kekana is recovering from a groin injury he picked up while on national team duty, while Mzikayise Mashaba is undergoing treatment for a hernia.

Veteran midfielder Teko Modise, Soumahoro Bangaly, Tiyani Mabunda and forward Cuthbert Malajila are all being monitored by doctors after battling the flu.

The Brazilians will be without goalkeeper Denis Onyango and defender Tebogo Langerman for their crucial Champions League tie, as the pair will be serving a suspension after accumulating yellow cards.

Pitso Mosimane’s side were recently brought back into the tournament after AS Vita were disqualified for fielding an ineligible player. Enyimba and Zamalek are the other two sides in Group B.

Saturday’s match kicks off at 23:15.
