Ngubane: AFCON run drained Sundowns players
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA - APRIL 15: Mamelodi Sundowns players during the DStv Premiership match between Moroka Swallows and Mamelodi Sundowns at Dobsonville Stadium on April 2024 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The DStv Premiership champions had nine players in the Hugo Broos squad that won a bronze medal in the Africa Cup Of Nations tournament in Ivory Coast.Sundowns have been not convincing in their recent games and Ngubane believes fatigue might be the reason for that. "Let’s hope the reason for their recent performance is because they are more focused on the Champions League."They are humans as well, you can't have so many of your players in the AFCON and expect them to come back normal.
"The players are trying, but it's difficult for a team like Sundowns to perform the way they are doing at the moment. The AFCON games drained them physically. "Yes they have depth, but not getting game time for a long time makes a player lose momentum. They might not be mentally ready.
