SPORT: Andile Jali returns to training following injury
The 28-year-old had to be stretched off the match between Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns at Loftus Versveld.
Andile Jali has resumed training with the Mamelodi Sundowns first team having recovered from a left foot injury.
The Pretoria-based midfielder has been out of action since last year November.
The 28-year-old had to be stretchered off in the match between Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns at Loftus Versveld.
Jali has not played for the Pretoria side this year following the injury but was expected to feature in the next coming weeks.
He signed for Sundowns in June last year after spending four years with Belgium side KV Oostende before returning to South Africa.

Before that, he played for Orlando Pirates and the University of Pretoria.
He has been on the sidelines with Wayne Arendse, who has a left calf strain.
According to Sundowns website, Arendse will undergo a scan on Wednesday.
On Monday, another player Phakamani Mahlambi also resumed training having been out due to a hamstring strain.
Thokozani Sekotlong also has a hamstring strain that has kept him out of contention, while Lucky Mohomi has a left knee strain sustained in a MultiChoice Diski Challenge game.
Sundowns are on cruise control in the league following their hard-fought victory against Highlands Park on Tuesday. The Brazilians’ 2-1 win meant that they were just three points away from log leaders Bidvest Wits with three games in hand.
Should Sundowns win their games in hands, they could open a six-point gap between themselves and their nearest rivals.
Sundowns will now turn their attention to the Nedbank Cup where they face Chippa United at the weekend.
