Mamelodi Sundowns coach Manqoba Mngqithi says he is unsure if four of their players in the form of Nicholus Lukhubeni, Nyiko Mobbie, Phakamani Mhlambi as well as Sammy Seabi will return to the club.
Mngqithi was questioned regarding the players who were loaned to other DStv Premiership clubs to gain regular game time last season.
However, with the players set to see their existing contracts coming to expiration at the end of June, the Masandawana players’ futures remain unclear, according to Goal.
Mngqithi recently addressed the media:
“Come back to us? I don’t know. We are still going to sit down in that space but it will be to enhance what we have because the boys are looking good. Some of the boys who did not play much this past season will seem like new signings.
“We follow the progress of all our players, we know what is happening with each and every one of them and we make decisions based on that. We look at the recommendation that we are getting from the teams. They give every detail and information of what the player was doing and why he was not playing, then we make decisions based on that.”
