Shalulile, who has been out of action for four months due to injury, announced his return with a goal as Sundowns defeated Chippa United 2-1 in a Premiership clash at Loftus Stadium in Pretoria on Tuesday. “It’s very important [to have him back] because he is an important player for us,” Mokwena said. “He is loved by the group. You saw how everyone celebrated when he scored. He is still the reigning footballer of the season and top goalscorer.”
“This is what I’m saying to you guys [media]. If you discredit the work that is being done by the entire football club, it’s a little unfair because we have had the footballer of the season out and we are still 13 points ahead of [the team that is] number two,” he said.
