Mamelodi Sundowns have been dealt a potential setback after midfielder Teboho Mokoena was forced off during their match against Angolan side Wiliete SC.

The incident occurred in the 40th minute, when the South African international was unable to continue and was substituted. His early departure came at a crucial stage of the contest, with both teams still searching for the opening goal.

The score stood at 0-0 when Mokoena left the pitch, leaving Sundowns to continue their search for a breakthrough without one of their key midfielders.

Mokoena plays an important role in the Brazilians' midfield, contributing to ball recovery, distribution and the transition between defence and attack. His ability to influence the tempo of matches makes him an important part of the team's tactical approach.

His withdrawal will therefore be a concern for the Sundowns coaching staff, particularly if the incident proves to be more than a minor problem.

However, the precise nature and severity of the apparent injury have not been confirmed in the information available. Further medical assessments and an official update from the club would be needed to establish whether Mokoena faces any period on the sidelines.

For Sundowns supporters, attention will now turn to the midfielder's condition and whether he will be available for the team's upcoming fixtures.
