Miguel Cardoso explains Ronwen Williams absence for Mamelodi Sundowns

The Bafana Bafana captain has not featured in the last two matches for Masandawana, with Ugandan veteran Denis Onyango taking over the gloves against Sekhukhune United and Al Hilal last weekend.

"Ronwen, had a small thing on one of his adductors," said Cardoso to reporters ahead of the Nedbank Cup clash against Gomora on Wednesday.

"Not a muscle injury but syndrome, it's not long-term, we hope to have him back as soon as possible, maybe this weekend, that's what we're trying to work on.

"Being an important player, as one of our captains, when Themba (Zwane) is not on the pitch he takes take responsibility."

The 34-year-old shot-stopper has only missed three matches in total this season, keeping ten clean sheets in 22 appearances in all competitions.

The Tshwane giants take on lower division side Gomora at Loftus Versfeld in their Round of 32 clash at 19h00.
