Colombian striker Leonardo Castro is finally available to play‚ and should get a run in Mamelodi Sundowns’ Premier Soccer League match-up against Kaizer Chiefs at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.
Castro‚ who formed part of last season’s deadly 'CBD' trio along with Khama Billiat and Keagan Dolly‚ has not played since Sundowns’ 1-0 home win against Zamalek in the Caf Champion League group stages on July 27.
The big Colombian with a deadly touch has been out because of visa issues bringing his wife and newborn baby to South Africa‚ combined with an ankle injury.
“Castro is back – you saw him in full training‚” Downs coach Pitso Mosimane said after taking his side through their paces in a practice session at their Chloorkop base on Thursday.
“Castro can play maybe 20 minutes‚ not more than that. Because we also need to build him up.”
