Mbule, Jali alleged to have arrived drunk at Sundowns training: Fears that indiscipline from star players could affect the club’s dominance of SA football
Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Sipho Mbule. Picture: RYAN WILKISKY/BACKPAGEPIXMamelodi Sundowns were rocked recently when two of their big-name stars, Andile Jali and Sipho Mbule, arrived for training at their base at Chloorkop, allegedly under the influence of alcohol.The sources said Bafana Bafana international Mbule, 24, who had a history of misdemeanours at former club SuperSport United, was sent home from a training session about two weeks ago because he arrived apparently inebriated.
Before the team’s departure last week for their 2-2 Caf Champions League group stage draw with Al Ahly in Cairo on Saturday night, 32-year-old former Bafana midfield star Jali reported at Chloorkop allegedly under the influence of alcohol. In August 2020, during the lockdown for Covid-19, Jali was at loggerheads with former Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane when he reported for their training camp at Royal Marang Hotel in Rustenburg under the influence of alcohol.“There have been incidents of ill-discipline recently and this has the potential to disrupt the dressing room,” one of the sources said.
Downs coach Rulani Mokwena was asked at a media conference on Tuesday about the mysterious absence of Mbule from the Brazilians’ line-up in recent weeks.
