Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso confirmed that winger Monnapule Saleng repeatedly failed to report for duty, despite the club's attempts to support him. Saleng, who joined the team in 2023, has been isolated from training sessions and matches for breaching protocols. Cardoso revealed the player missed multiple sessions and games, with instances of arriving late and leaving early. The coach emphasized the challenges of developing a player who consistently undermines team efforts. Saleng's absences have created logistical hurdles for the coaching staff, who have maintained a supportive stance despite his repeated failures. Cardoso highlighted the emotional toll of the situation, noting the team's efforts to make Saleng feel valued through celebrations and personal engagement. However, the player's lack of commitment has persisted, prompting the club to seek psychological intervention for him.
