Mamelodi Sundowns FC coach drops Aubrey Modiba for Fawaaz Basadien against Marumo Gallants
Mamelodi Sundowns FC coach Miguel Cardoso has made a surprise call-up for Fawaaz Basadien against Marumo Gallants in the Betway Premiership. Modiba started against Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday but is dropped against Gallants.
What happened?
The former Stellenbosch FC left-back has not been a regular for the Brazilians since joining from Stellies last season. Modiba is a doubtful start for the Betway Premiership match, giving Basadien a chance to impress the coach.
Why it matters for Mamelodi Sundowns FC
The Brazilians face Marumo Gallants in a crucial match, and the team's performance will be closely watched. With Modiba's uncertain status, Basadien's inclusion adds an element of uncertainty to the team's lineup.
What comes next?
The match against Marumo Gallants will be a test of Mamelodi Sundowns FC's strength and depth. With Basadien's inclusion, the team's chances of winning the match have improved, but the outcome is still uncertain.
