Miguel Cardoso has some big decisions to make ahead of their final FIFA Club World Cup group game, and one of them could involve one of Mamelodi Sundowns' most influential figures.
If Sundowns thought the match against Borussia Dortmund was big, they should probably think again.

While Dortmund are seen as a European giant, facing the Brazilian side is even bigger for the club because it's a must win clash. Sundowns have an opportunity to become the only African club to reach the knockout phase of the Club World Cup, so Cardoso will need a solid line-up that can deliver the desired result, which is a victory.
Cardoso's biggest call is probably that of captain Themba Zwane, who was not as influential against Dortmund. The coach could decide to rest the experienced campaigner and have him come on as an impact player in the second half.
The Portuguese mentor will have a big decision to make upfront regarding striker Lebo Mothiba. The former Strasbourg striker has made an impression on two occasions as a substitute in the group stages and has made a strong case to start matches. But with Iqraam Rayners doing so well upfront, it won't be easy to make a change, unless he can play both of them in attack, and sacrifice one midfielder.
