Mamelodi Sundowns striker Mauricio Affonso has suffered a fresh injury setback which will delay his debut for the club.
The South American marksman joined the Brazilians in the off-season from Alianza Lima, but he picked up a knee injury soon afterward.
According to coach Pitso Mosimane, the Uruguayan will not feature for the Tshwane giants in the foreseeable future.
"He got injured again at training. It’s the same injury again. It's unbelievable," Mosimane told reporters when asked about the striker's absence.
"It’s a setback again with him," concluded Mosimane.
Affonso was expected to lead the team's frontline this season, more so after the departure of Jeremy Brockie to Maritzburg United on PSL transfer deadline day.
