Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Rulani Mokwena says Gaston Sirino potentially representing the South Africa national team shouldn’t even be a discussion.
Sirino, 32, is eligible to represent Bafana Bafana after spending more than five years in the country and while Pitso Mosimane previously stated he would be a valuable addition some years ago – the debate has come to the fore again as he’s officially able to switch his allegiance.
The Uruguayan playmaker, who returned to the Masandawana team on Sunday in the 0-0 draw against Swallows stated he would love to don the national team colours, if Hugo Broos ever called-up him up and when iDiski Times probed Mokwena if he could be an asset, he agreed to the notion.
“If he has the thing [papers] and everything possible, I think he can add value, of course, fortunately, I don’t select the national team,” Mokwena said at Dobsonville Stadium.
“It’s the hardest thing, there’s so many good players in this country, so I don’t even if there’s a good player available there shouldn’t even be a discussion.”
Sirino has won nine trophies since his arrival at the club, including six league titles while scoring 36 goals and registering 41 assists in 170 games across all competitions.
The player has been struggling with injuries for the past two seasons however when given an opportunity he has continued to prove time after time that he can indeed make a difference on that forward line.
