Mamelodi Sundowns captain Hlompho Kekana has emphasised ensuring that younger players in the squad remain focused ahead of Saturday’s Caf Champions League showdown against USM Alger away from home.
The match comes on the backdrop of Sundowns unusually spending Christmas Day on foreign soil while preparing for the match against Algerians, a situation which Kekana describes as ‘a bit strange.’
Fearing that some younger players could be distracted by having their minds on family and friends back home ahead of such a crucial assignment, Kekana feels he has a huge role to play as the skipper to ensure maximum concentration.
