Downs Welcome Back Two Bafana Stars

Mamelodi Sundowns have welcomed back two Bafana Bafana stars who have been missing from action since the return of PSL football in February. 

Both Khuliso Mudau and Mothobi Mvala are back on the training field for the champions, giving Sundowns a boost during a period that sees them playing in three different competitions.

It's unclear, at this stage, if they will be involved in this weekend's Nedbank Cup action, with Sundowns set to face Maritzburg United in the last 16 of the knockout competition. 

Due to their recoveries from injury, both Mudau and Mvala are not part of the Bafana Bafana squad that will face Algeria and Andorra later this month, but this will give them enough time to be ready for the hectic schedule that lies ahead for Rulani Mokwena's men.

Mvala's return, in particular, will be an interesting one, with Bongani Zungu recently playing in a role alongside Grant Kekana at the back, though he has freedom to get into midfield and make some opposition box entries. 

While Mudau has been out of the team, January transfer window Zuko Mdunyelwa has been doing well and will be looking to work even harder to keep his place in the team ahead of the usually consistent Bafana right back.
