Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Manqoba Mngqithi says fan favourite Thembinkosi Lorch is close to making a return to the match-day squad.
Speaking to the media ahead of the Caf Champions League clash against Mbabane Swallows at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Saturday, Mngqithi said Lorch was training well and was closer to making a return.
'Lorch is as close as possible to the match day squad, he has played a friendly that we played against Sekhukhune and he has been training well.
It was just unfortunate that today he had a minor stiffness in the hamstring that's why he pulled out training early, but other wise were happy with the contribution that he might make, Mngqithi said.
The Sundowns coach added that he was happy with Lorchs level of commitment and professionalism.
