Mamelodi Sundowns full-back Thapelo Morena will be out of action for at least six months with a fractured fibula.
The speedy player suffered a horrific ankle injury in Sundowns' 1-0 win over SuperSport United in the Nedbank Cup Last 32 on Saturday night.
He dislocated his ankle as he was trying to block a cross into the Sundowns box on the night.
