Pitso eyes 100% record

Given the depth in Mamelodi Sundowns' squad that travelled to Nigeria, coach Pitso Mosimane is likely to field his strongest side in today's CAF Champions League clash against Enyimba at Port Harcourt Stadium (5.30pm).

Most of the regulars have made the trip with the exception of Keagan Dolly, who has a hamstring strain.

"I picked up a slight injury in Brazil in our last game against Iraq, but it is nothing serious - it is just a strain, but I'm ready for the new season," said Dolly.

Since impressing at the Rio Olympics, the 23-year-old has been linked with French side Rennes as well as Greek giants Olympiakos.

Dolly, however, insisted that he is focused on helping Sundowns in their attempt to win Africa's elite competition and the start of the domestic league.

"I know nothing [about possible transfers to Rennes and Olympiakos], it is speculation. I'm still a Sundowns player and I'm concentrating on getting back to the team to start focusing on the Champions League and the MTN8 game," Dolly added.

The Brazilians have already won Group B, making their clash with Enyimba - who are eliminated - irrelevant.

Despite having to just turn up and honour the fixture, Mosimane has taken his regulars with him and a win will complete a 100% record.

Interestingly, new signing Sibusiso Vilakazi has also travelled with the team despite the fact that he's ineligible to play because he is cup-tied after featuring for Wits in the CAF Confederation Cup earlier this year.

Downs travelling squad: Sandilands, Nascimento, Madisha, T Zwane, Mweene, Kekana (c), Onyango, Nthethe, Castro, Modise, Arendse, Mabunda, Tau, Soumahoro, Langerman, Laffor, Billiat, Vilakazi, S Zwane, Mashaba and Evans.
