Mamelodi Sundowns have confirmed a big injury setback ahead of the new season as defender Rushine de Reuck is set for another lengthy spell on the sidelines.
According to the club, De Reuck has sustained a serious knee injury from a freak incident at training and has already gone under the knife.The centre back also spent a good part of last season nursing a hamstring injury which resulted in him only playing 25 matches across the DStv Premiership, Caf Champions League, MTN8 and Nedbank Cup.The recent injury left the young defender in a painful situation and unable to join the Bafana Ba Style training camp in Europe, the club said.
“Upon observation the doctors felt that instead of being very conservative, the time frame for the layout would be the same as a conservative approach and yet you could get probably greater long-term benefits if you weren’t a little bit more on the surgical route,” Mokwena said.“[After thorough] consultation with a knee specialist and with Rushine, we felt that the right approach was to go surgical.
