Miguel Cardoso cites the absence of VAR in the PSL as the reason for Teboho Mokoena injury

Miguel Cardoso has again lamented the absence of VAR in the PSL following the injury to talismanic Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Teboho Mokoena.

Mokoena missed last night's clash against TS Galaxy in the Betway Premiership after he was injured on weekend when Sundowns beat Polokwane City 3-2 in the MTN8.

“I think that it’s important that South Africa understands that we have to protect our player,” said Cardosos after the 3-2 win over TS galaxy at Mbombela Stadium. .

“We cannot come from the World Cup and a player make contact off the ball with a national hero when he plays his first match on South African soil, we allow such aggressive action on him without even being penalised. It’s a rough one, very rough one. The player Polokwane City player, he was not even yellow carded.

"But this is the injury that has prevented Teboho Mokoena. It was not even yellow card this action (injury on Tebza).”
