Vilakazi: Sundowns have quality players ready to fill the space

Sibusiso Vilakazi

Mamelodi Sundowns attacker Sibusiso Vilakazi believes they have enough quality within the squad to fill the void in his absence.

The 30-year-old was rewarded with a new four-year contract by Sundowns in July this year after his standout performance during their treble-winning season.

Vilakazi's campaign came to an end when he sustained a serious injury during Sundowns' 1-0 defeat against Baroka in the bio-bubble two games before the season ended.

'The recovery is going well as I am busy on the mend,' Vilakazi told his club's official website.

'In football, you do not have time as you are playing at a high level and there are quality players who are ready to fill the space and the space is small because of the players that are around. 

'We tend to think we have time whereas we do not have, these days you get injured and you must work harder to get back into the team.'

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
