Rulani Mokwena and his technical team are now reportedly facing huge issues within the dressing room after allegedly being involved in a heated altercation with a senior player that may point to wider discontent within the Brazilians' squad.
The player in question - whose identity is known to this publication - was not part of the traveling party for the CAF Champions League trip to Al Ahly last Saturday.
The disgruntled star has now reportedly stopped training with the first-team squad after the heated exchange.
"The player is frustrated due to lack of game-time and the club delaying its decision on whether to renew his contract," a source within the club tells KickOff.
"He has not been in a good frame of mind with his mental health affected and has since been driven to drink due to his frustration at Sundowns."
Sundowns chose not to comment when reached.
