Mamelodi-SundownsFormer Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Brent Carelse has opened up about what the current players might be going through following the loss of Jayden Adams, drawing on his personal experience after the club also lost Gift Leremi in 2007. Sundowns to start their seasonThe club will officially start their 2026/27 season with an MTN8 quarterfinal clash against Polokwane City at Lucas Moripe Stadium on Saturday. "You know the MTN8 is always full of surprises, I wouldn't say it's a plus for Sundowns that they didn't play. I think if you speak to the coaches and the players, I'm sure they would have liked to have a game or two under their belt already," responded Carelse. If you remember with us in 2007, we lost Gift Leremi and it was a big blow to us as a squad at Sundowns.
