If we have not used you, we won't hang on to you - coach

There will be more players going out than coming in at Mamelodi Sundowns this month as coach Pitso Mosimane believes a number of them deserve a chance to prove themselves elsewhere. Tiyani Mabunda, Mukuka Mulenga, Lindokuhle Mbatha, Sibusiso Kumalo , Percy Tau, Thela Ngobeni and Mario Booysen are set to be either sold or loaned out by the club."If we have not used you for two years, then why should we hang on to you? We don't want to hang on to a player like Mabunda. We will try to place him at another club," Mosimane said."We have a guy like Mario Booysen who is struggling to get a place. Percy Tau needs to go play. Thela Ngobeni needs to play. Mukuka Mulenga needs to go play. Kumalo needs to go play. Ejike [Uzoenyi] has had a long-term injury and to come back after a long injury is not easy at Sundowns."But Mosimane is keen to keep defender Rheece Evans."We think Evans can stay with us for the Champions League because we need numbers there. His advantage is that he can play right back, left back and he can play as a centre back."Burundian striker Fiston Abdul Razak is a regular goal scorer for his national team, but has struggled to convince Mosimane he deserves a place in the team. The striker may get a chance to prove himself in the Champions League...
