Why Lebese Is Unlikely To Feature Against Sundowns

It has been almost two years since George Lebese last played in an official PSL match and now his coach has revealed why 'Geeza' is unlikely to face his former side, Mamelodi Sundowns.
As reported by the Siya crew, Lebese penned a short-term deal with Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila earlier this month, after terminating his contract with his former club, Colorado Springs Switchbacks due to strict COVID-19 travel restrictions in the USA.
There was hope that Lebese would feature for TTM against his former side Sundowns, who they will face in the Nedbank Cup this Sunday, but TTM interim coach Mpho Maleka revealed that it will be another two weeks before the 32-year-old can play for the Polokwane-based outfit.
“For George, we expect him to be more involved in competitive matches in a week or two,” Maleka told journalists.
“So far, as much as I spoke about TK, Tokelo (Rantie) he’s working with the fitness trainers to push his fitness but mentally we could see he’s very ready and he can add value in our attacking part of game plan, so as I said to you, in about two weeks you should start seeing George Lebese coming on and getting his time on the field of play,” he added.
Lebese’s last match in the PSL was in April 2019, when he was substituted in SuperSport United’s 2-0 loss to AmaZulu.
