Erwin Saavedra makes promise to Yellow Nation

Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Erwin Saavedra has expressed his thoughts after returning from injury – and made a promise to the Yellow Nation.

The 26-year-old made a match-day squad this week for the first time since May when Masandawana played their last game of the 2021/22 DStv Premiership season against Royal AM.

Saavedra, who joined the Tshwane giants in January, has been struggling with recurring injuries since his arrival at Chloorkop.
