'I was sceptical' – Nascimento reveals reservations about joining Mamelodi Sundowns

Mamelodi Sundowns defender Ricardo Nascimento has explained his frustrations on the sidelines and how he reacted after receiving an offer from the Tshwane giants in 2016.

The 33-year-old player returned to the Brazilians starting line-up last January after recovering from a groin injury which he sustained prior to the start of the current campaign.

Nascimento completed his physiotherapy and rehabilitation in his home country, Brazil, and he returned to action against Angolan side Petro de Luanda in the Caf Champions League clash on January 25.
