Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper Ronwen Williams unlikely to start for the Brazilians against Gomora United in a Nedbank Cup last-32 clash

Ronwen Williams is still not ready to start for Mamelodi Sundowns.

The Bafana Bafana and Sundowns captain missed Sundowns last two matches through injury.

Denis Onyango has been in goals in Williams’ absence as Williams missed both the win against Sekhukhune United, a week ago today and the loss to Al Hilal in a Caf Champions League match on Friday.

His coach Miguel Cardoso has shed light on the availability of Williams ahead of their Nedbank Cup last 32-matcha against National First Division side Gomora United tomorrow.

“There’s always small things for teams after matches but it’s not important because they don’t take players out of matches, they may demand from us, some management from us in training sessions to avoid overloads, even sometimes we can decide to skip a player in a match, not because he’s injured but [precautionary] then we manage it,” he said.

“Ronwen, had a small thing on one of his adductors, not a muscle injury but syndrome, it’s not long-term, we hope to have him back as soon as possible, maybe this weekend, that’s what we’re trying to work on. Being an important player, as one of our captains, when Themba is not on the pitch he takes take responsibility

“But also by what he means as a player, just go back to the press conference of the coach of Al Hilal, how he prepared the team different just because of the characteristics of goalkeepers are different which allows different approaches… but soon he will be back. Denis also had something small [injury] but he’s ready and we trust him so much.”

The match tomorrow starts at 7.30pm at Loftus Versveld.
