Mamelodi Sundowns coach, Rulani Mokwena admitted that the Brazilians are a work in progress but are eager to get the results under their belt.

Sundowns have won just one out of their three games played in 2020/21 season, coming in the form of a big 3-0 win over Kaizer Chiefs in their opening DStv Premiership encounter.

However, after a 0-0 draw away to TTM thereafter, the Brazilians will be eager to get back to winning ways when they travel away to face Cape Town City on Wednesday evening.

“There was a lot of improvement against TTM but the only thing we needed to do was convert the chances,” Mokwena told the media.

“But we are still a work in progress and we are still trying to orientate particularly a lot of the new players into the squad and assist them to adapt to the Sundowns environment and way of doing things. Of course, we need results and we are working for that but at the same time it is a tricky one because we’ve still also got to have the Mamelodi Sundowns way of playing which is very important.

“But more important than anything else is to make sure we win games and we move in the right direction with confidence. But every game gives these new players and everybody in the team an opportunity to fight for their place in the team and that’s the same going into (the match against) Cape Town City.”

Sundowns could trim the squad, here are the players in danger:
