Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena has provided an update on striker Peter Shalulile’s injury ahead of their DStv Premiership clash against Polokwane City on Wednesday evening.

The Namibian limped off the field in the Brazilians’ 4-0 victory over Golden Arrows in a DStv Premiership clash last week.

The 29-year-old sustained a hamstring injury and was forced to be substituted in the 75th minute at the Lucas Moripe Stadium.

Mokwena has since revealed that Shalulile is expected to be out for at least two more weeks as he continues to mend his injury.

“Peter is out a couple more weeks,” Mokwena told members of the media.

“It is difficult to predict with Peter because he is a different breed. Peter has a different mentality and his body reacts differently, so sometimes you think three, or four weeks but then he comes back a bit faster.

“You saw it last season when he was supposed to be out for almost the entire season and he actually came back a lot faster than we anticipated, so we have to go day by day with Peter.”
