Mothobi Mvala is currently in a race against time at Chloorkop.
The experienced defender is battling to recover from a long-term injury. His current contract with Mamelodi Sundowns FC expires at the end of June.
The club exercised a one-year option last year to keep him for the current campaign. However, injuries have hindered his progress. He has barely featured on the pitch with only three months left on his deal.
Mvala joined the Brazilians in 2020 from Highlands Park. He originally signed a five-year agreement. Despite his recent absence, he is still considered a leader in Miguel Cardoso’s dressing room.
The club management will wait before making a final call. A decision on his renewal will likely happen closer to the end of the season. His return to full fitness is the main factor.
The squad is already seeing some changes in defense. Veteran Mosa Lebusa recently left the club to join Stellenbosch FC.
The situation highlights the high standards at Sundowns. Players must maintain fitness to secure their spot in a competitive environment.
