Kompany: Bafana Bafana striker Tau is one of Anderlecht's 'leaders'

Anderlecht manager Vincent Kompany has underlined the importance of former Mamelodi Sundowns ace Percy Tau to the Belgian team.

Tau was not in action last weekend in Anderlecht's 0-0 draw with Standard de Liege, and it has been revealed this was due to a muscle injury picked up during the week, according to Belgian publications. He is expected to be out for around two weeks.
