With Erwin Saavedra a doubt for Mamelodi Sundowns next game, we take a look at some of the first impressions the South American has made to the club's fans.
What's the story?
The Bolivian is one of the latest foreign players to put on the yellow of Sundowns, with the club having much success in finding South American talents in recent times.
Having to battle it out in one of the most competitive midfield departments in South African football, Saavedra provided supporters with a glimpse of what's to come in his first few appearances.
A Sign Of Things To Come
In Sundowns CAF Champions League group stage tie against Al-Merrikh, Saavedra showed signs of what he could offer to the team. Saavedra's technical ability and movement looked similar to that of fellow South American Gaston Sirino, with supporters happy with his efforts so far.
Made For Downs?
Fans will no doubt want to see more of the Bolivian but could be forced to wait after he was substituted against Al-Merrikh in the first half due to injury.
In all, Downs fans have taken to social media over the course of last week in providing their opinion on the South American and his first impressions.
Here are some of the reactions:
Saavedra was born in the East Rand ??????????
We are dancing?????? This Saavedra knows ball
Saavedra is a top player.
Have your say…
What did you make of Saavedra's first few matches in Downs colours?
