Miguel Cardoso explained why they called up another player at the last minute.

Mamelodi Sundowns are set to kick off their Club World Cup campaign soon and have made a last-minute addition to their squad.

Details: Head coach Miguel Cardoso announced that the club has called up Zuko Mdunyelwa. He confirmed this information during the pre-match press conference.

Quote: "I remember, for example, Zuko was with us in the group stage of the second round of the CAF Champions League. He didn't travel with us to the USA right away, but now he's joined the team because we decided to bring him along. Every player has their own situation. It's important to understand that the moment we're in right now is very, very significant for us," he emphasized.

For the record, head coach Miguel Cardoso also explained why Mamelodi Sundowns did not use the special summer transfer window to strengthen the squad.

Reminder: Mamelodi Sundowns will face Ulsan Hyundai in their opening match of the Club World Cup group stage in the early hours of Wednesday, June 18. Kick-off is scheduled for 00:00 Central European Time.
