With the score locked at 0-0 at the Loftus Versfeld last weekend, the 35-year-old came on in the 70th to a standing ovation. “It was very good [to have Zwane back], you could see the stadium was up,” Sundowns’ senior goalkeeper Denis Onyango said via Kick Off. “He is the captain of the team, and it was very good to have him back on the field after a very long time.
“He’s very influential to the team, and the youngsters love him, the country loves him, and the team loves him. When he is on the pitch, things happen. He looks after the ball and looks for the [crucial] passes.
“So, we hope that he gets the match fitness he needs and helps the team towards the end of the season,” the Sundowns veteran concluded.
CAN THEMBA ZWANE PLAY UNTIL THE AGE OF 40?
