Oh no! Mamelodi Sundowns key player left the field on a stretcher in CAF Champions League match
Mamelodi Sundowns were dealt a worrying blow in the first leg of their CAF Champions League second qualifying round tie against Angola's Wiliete. Midfielder Teboho Mokoena suffered an injury and was carried off on a stretcher, sparking concern among the South African club's supporters.
The incident occurred in the first half of the match in Angola, where the teams are battling for a place in the group stage of Africa's premier club competition. The score remains 0:0 at half-time, while Mokoena's potential absence has become one of the main talking points of the match.
Mamelodi Sundowns will be particularly concerned about the midfielder's condition given his contribution to the team's performances. This season, Mokoena has made 10 appearances at club level, scoring four goals and providing two assists. Those numbers underline his importance not only in midfield but also in creating danger in the final third.
There is currently no information about the nature of the injury or the player's recovery timeline. The fact that he had to be carried off on a stretcher is concerning, but it would be premature to assess the severity of the injury before a medical examination.
