Onyango just had a bruise - Mamelodi Sundowns' Mngqithi updates on goalkeeper's injury

Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi has allayed fears of a serious injury to goalkeeper Denis Onyango who played just the first half of Sunday’s Caf Champions League match against CR Belouizdad in Dar es Salaam.

Onyango was replaced by Zambian Africa Cup of Nations winner Kennedy Mweene, who guarded goal for the rest of the match.

The injury happened ahead of Uganda’s Afcon qualifiers against Burkina Faso and Malawi.

“We don’t think it is a very serious injury because it is just a bruise. They stepped on him it’s not like he twisted an ankle or anything like that,” Mngqithi told the media.
