Mamelodi Sundowns star Sirino close to full fitness as Al Ahly rumours swell

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Manqoba Mngqithi has confirmed that attacker Gaston Sirino has started light training and should be ready for their Premier Soccer League (PSL) clash against AmaZulu on November 22.

The hosting of Usuthu would be Sundowns’ first match after the Fifa international break and if Sirino is fielded, it will be his first game of the season.

A hamstring injury sustained during pre-season has sidelined the Uruguayan whose absence has been felt by Downs by Mngqithi's own admission previously.

“He should be ready to play the next match after the Fifa break, we were just being cautious because he had a grade two hamstring [strain] and it has taken two and a half weeks now but we are hopeful because he has already started light training, so by the time we come back he will be back with the team,” said Mngqithi as per Phakaaathi.
