Mamelodi Sundowns Duo Reportedly Arrive to Training While Drunk

• Amid a culture of winning at Mamelodi Sundowns, ill-discipline reared its head
• Andile Jali and Sipho Mbule allegedly arrived at a training session while drunk
• Rhulani Mokwena was not forthcoming about the reason for the suspensions

Mamelodi Sundowns players, Sipho Mbule and Andile Jali appear to not have covered themselves in glory amid a winning team.

According to a report, the duo allegedly arrived at the team's training sessions - in separate incidents - while under the influence of alcohol.

This led to the suspension of Mbule, though the reason for this could be something else entirely.

A source is said to have told TimesLIVE:

“There have been incidents of ill-discipline recently and this has the potential to disrupt the dressing room. Players behave in an unusual manner for different reasons, but ill-discipline is something that is not tolerated at this level.”

Coach, Rhulani Mokwena, when questioned about reputed problem-child, Mbule, smartly side-stepped a question about him by saying to the IOL:

“Yeah, unfortunately, Sipho is suspended for the next match. So he’s not in contention. But we’ll stick to one game at a time and see how we can go with Sipho leading up to Stellenbosch.”

There were no further details on Jali and rumours of his suspension.
