Monnapule Saleng has shaken up the football scene with his unexpected transfer to Mamelodi Sundowns from Orlando Pirates as the January transfer window unfolds.

This 27-year-old forward's switch has left fans buzzing, especially supporters of both clubs, who were not expecting this move.

Football analyst Themba Modise weighed in on Saleng's potential return to the Bafana Bafana squad following his transfer. He shared his perspective on the challenges ahead:

"It will take time of course he needs to work his way back to playing regularly with the same form that shot him to stardom at Pirates, he also needs to be in a good space mentally and probably then Broos might just consider bringing him back into the mix but it's not going to be easy, we can use the Lorch situation as reference,"

With the road ahead looking complex, will Saleng's new chapter with Sundowns prove to be the stepping stone he needs for national team glory?
