Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi has revealed that Themba Zwane and Rivaldo Coetzeeare available for selection for this weekend’s CAF Champions League fixture.

The Brazilians will welcome DR Congo side Maniema Union in the second leg of their Caf Champions League qualifying tie at Loftus Stadium on Sunday.

Downs will take an advantage into the clash after scoring two important away goals in last weeks first leg 2-2 draw.

The 2019/20 Footballer of the Season, Zwane, scored both of those important away goals last weekend but he was unavailable for Sundowns’ 1-0 win over Golden Arrows 1-0 on Wednesday at Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium.

Coetzee, on the other hand, also didn’t feature against Arrows, but Mnqithi revealed that it was just a precaution, as they were rested with Zwane given a break to remain fresh while Coetzee was protected from a potential ban having already picked up three yellow cards in the DStv Premiership.

“Themba Zwane and Rivaldo are back. They are available for selection. I think they can help us. We had reasons not to take them to Durban, more especially Rivaldo because he had three yellow cards, so we were a little bit unsure in that space,” Mngqithi told media ahead of this weekend’s clash.

“With Themba Zwane, it’s always important to refresh him, so I think in this match they will be part of the team.”

Sundowns havare expected to get the result and continue their streak of competing in the group stages every year since 2016.
