There will be little time for Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena to work with his international players ahead of this weekend's CAF Champions League group stage match against Cameroonian outfit Coton Sport.
Sundowns have a whole host of players who are currently away on international duty and a large part of them are in Hugo Broos' Bafana Bafana squad. Bafana have travelled to Monrovia, Liberia, on a charted flight and are expected to immediately fly back after their clash against the Lone Stars on Tuesday.

The players who are away on international duty are Themba Zwane, Ronwen Williams, Mothobi Mvala, Grant Kekana, Aubrey Modiba, Thapelo Morena, Teboho Mokoena and Cassius Mailula.
The players will be back in South Africa on Wednesday and will possibly start training with the rest of the team on Thursday, while the technical team checks on any injuries or knocks players may have picked up while on duty.
Peter Shalulile is on national team duty with Namibia, but a plus for the Sundowns technical team is that their clash against Cameroon will be played in Johannesburg, at Dobsonville Stadium, on Tuesday. Shalulile was on the scoresheet in the 1-1 draw with Cameroon on Friday evening and the Sundowns technical team will have their fingers crossed that he returns in injury-free to get them through what's expected to be a challenging final few weeks of the season.
