Mamelodi Sundowns’ goalkeeper, Ronwen Williams, was absent during their recent 3-1 win against Marumo Gallants in the Betway Premiership, sidelined by an injury.
The Bafana Bafana captain, who has dealt with more injuries in the past year than in the majority of his career, was missed in goal.
With the team participating in multiple competitions, Sundowns are eager for his swift return.
Denis Onyango Steps In as Williams Misses Out
In Williams’ absence, Sundowns relied on their experienced goalkeeper, Denis Onyango, who played a crucial role in the victory.
Despite the win, Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso expressed concerns about Onyango’s red card, which could impact their next match.
Cardoso highlighted the unpredictable nature of the situation, saying the red card always introduces uncertainty about the next game.
Good News for Williams and Sundowns
The good news for Sundowns is that Williams’ injury is not serious, and he should be back in action soon.
Cardoso confirmed that while Onyango has performed well, he believes Williams will recover quickly and return to goalkeeping duties.
Should there be any further issues, Sundowns have additional goalkeeping options, including Jody February, Sanele Tshabalala, and Reyaad Pieterse.
Williams’ Potential Absence for TS Galaxy Match
Though Williams might miss Sundowns’ upcoming match against TS Galaxy, all signs point to him being ready for their showdown against Kaizer Chiefs in two weeks.
Fans and the South African football community are left wondering if Williams’ recurring injuries should be a cause for concern.
