Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Manqoba Mngqithi has confirmed that star midfielder Rivaldo Coetzee is set to miss up to a month of action due to injury.
The 28-year-old hurt his knee after coming on as a second half substitute during Sundowns Betway Premiership 3-0 win over Cape Town City .
What would frustrate Mngqithi more is the fact that he had intended to give the injury prone defender some time off during the encounter.
Rivas one is a serious injury probably four weeks out if not more, ACL, Mngqithi said when speaking to journalists on Thursday.
He has to go for the operation I think this coming week but its a bad one. I hope he will come back when we need him the most in the later stages of the season.
