• Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs drew 1-1 in the MTN 8 semi-final

Mamelodi Sundowns’ captain Themba Zwane will be out of action for at least the next two weeks.

Zwane suffered a nasty injury during the MTN 8 fixture against Kaizer Chiefs, and will be out of action as a result.

Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena provided an update on Zwane’s status after the game, and it doesn’t make for happy reading.

As noted by SABC Sport, Mokwena explained that Zwane had to be hospitalised for the cut on his head.

"Clearly, with a concussion for the next 10 to 14 days, it's a precautionary type of measure to get some rest and be a bit protective and cautious, especially in this space that we find ourselves in with our lack of offensive options," Mokwena explained.
