Mamelodi Sundowns Head Coach Manqoba Mngqithi has excluded Teboho Mokoena from the squad again for today’s clash against Kaizer Chiefs.
The 27-year-old midfielder has not featured for Masandawana in four matches. Fans have speculated that Mokoena may have clashed with Manqoba Mngqithi following his ‘meeting’ Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema. The star alongside teammate Khuliso Mudau were left out of the squad for four consecutive matches.
Against Kaizer Chiefs, Mudau was named on the bench but no space was made for Teboho Mokoena.
Earlier this week, ex-Sundowns striker Katlego Mphela felt the absence of Mokoena and Mudau could affect Bafana Bafanas in the long run.
“I think it depends on who is available and which position you are talking about,” Mphela told Soccer Laduma.

“If you are talking about a defender, I think there are so many defenders who are on form now and can come in. You are talking about Tebza’s position as well, you see that there are young guys who are doing well in that position.”
Mamelodi Sundowns fans were again questioning why Teboho Mokoena was left out of the team to face Chiefs. Mngqithi has defended his decision to leave out Mokoena and Mudau in his lineup.
Will Mngqithi regret leaving out Mokoena?
