Mamelodi Sundowns defender Mosa Lebusa says it was difficult watching from the sidelines as a combination of injuries and good form by his teammates curtailed his game time.
Lebusa played for one minute in Sundowns' 4-3 win over AmaZulu on November 22 last year and then had to wait until January 16 for his next appearance in the league, a 0-0 draw against SuperSport United in the Tshwane derby.
Since then he has been featuring regularly and has started and completed the full 90 minutes in the Brazilians' last five league encounters, as well as playing 120 minutes in last weekend's 3-2 extra-time win over Stellenbosch FC in the Nedbank Cup.
