Saavedra's Sundowns Future Uncertain?

With the closure of the transfer window last week, news reaching the Siya crew is that the future of a Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder is believed to be uncertain.

Erwin Saavedra is still in his home country for rehabilitation after requiring surgery for an injury he sustained earlier this year.

Sources close to the club have indicated that the Bolivian's future remains uncertain. 

"As we are speaking now he is still in Bolivia. He went to have his injury rehabilitation there. The club has been waiting for him to come back and discuss the way forward," a source revealed to the Siya crew. 

"I am not sure what will happen in (the January transfer window) because at the moment, his future is in the balance. It's really uncertain if he will remain at the team right now."

Meanwhile a second source added that the club's management is yet to engage discussions on the Bolivian's next steps.  

"He is in Bolivia, not playing and still getting paid his salary because he is still under contract," another source informed the crew.

Saavedra joined Sundowns in February 2022, but he has only played ten games, featuring in the Premiership seven times and made three appearances in the CAF Champions League.

His last game for the club was on 1 April in the Champions League against Coton Sport where he played 28 minutes.

Soccer Laduma reached out to Sundowns for comment but received no response at the time of publishing.
