Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Rhulani Mokwena has revealed they will be back at training on January 14 but they have abandoned plans to set up camp overseas.
Sundowns are currently on a festive season break but will return to chase glory on three fronts.
Mokwena said they had planned for a training camp in Europe but were forced to cancel the plans due to coronavirus travel restrictions.
The fourth wave of Covid-19 has seen some countries imposing travel regulations on travellers from South Africa.
“The plan was to go overseas but Covid-19 travel restrictions make it difficult for us to leave the country,” said Mokwena.
We will be inbound and stay within the borders but we still have to try to make the camp competitive and beneficial to the group.
“We have a plan in place. We are on a three weeks break and we will resume training on the 14th of January and we will start with medicals. As soon as we get back, we will spend a couple of days at Chloorkop and resort to a camp.”
It is yet to be seen which opponents they will face in the DSTV Compact Cup in January.
Sundowns went into the festive break enjoying a 14-point gap at the top of the Premier Soccer League standings.
