Against Cape Town Spurs last night, the winger was making only his eighth league appearance, with just four of those in the starting line-up.
In the previous two seasons, the 28-year-old made 24 appearances in each of them in the league and scored some goals and assists along the way.
Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena previously cited loss of form for the star's situation although the tactician was confident that the former Bloemfontein Celtic man would come right to make his way back to the team.

Former Sundowns defender Phelelani Mpangase has been disappointed for the player's situation at the defending champions.
"With regards to Maema, I have been a bit disappointed because that boy is exceptional. Maema hasn't been getting a chance for regular game time, but whenever he does get a chance, he does well. I believe that he is one of those players with bright future," said Mpangase.
