Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane says his fringe players can easily win the league title.
He was referring to the players who have not been featuring regularly such as Kennedy Mweene, Andile Jali, Ricardo Nascimento, Oupa Manyisa, Phakamani Mahlambi, Mauricio Affonso, Anthony Laffor and many more.
Some of the players such as Mahlambi, Laffor and Nascimento are currently injured.
Sundowns will play against Cote D’Or from Seychelles in the Caf Champions League first round match on the 13th of September.
The Brazilians knocked out Otoho d’Oyo from Congo-Brazzaville in the preliminary round. Mosimane says most fringe players will go to Seychelles.
Sundowns played to a 1-1 draw against arch-rivals SuperSport United in the MTN 8 semifinal first leg clash in Atteridgeville on Sunday.
The Brazilians managed to score an away goal and Mosimane is confident they will progress to the final.
PSL teams will take a break due to the FIFA international weekend. The league will resume on the 14th of September.
Mosimane is happy with the break.
Attacking midfielder Sibusiso Vilakazi has been off the boil since the season started. He has been missing easy scoring opportunities, but managed to score one goal in the opening league game against SuperSport United.
Mosimane says he will regain his confidence.
Another player who is not having a good season so far is Lebohang Maboe. He has only managed to score one goal in six matches, after doing so well last season.
Mosimane says he will rediscover his form in due course.
