"It is what is and these things happen in football, unfortunately," Mokwena said.
"The show must go on and at Sundowns no one individual is more important than the team. What is important is for the team to perform well and the team to win the game.
"If that has to happen in my absence so be it. I will be with the team in spirit. We will do the work that we have to do and it doesn't change anything.
"There is a lot of work that needs to happen behind the scenes with many training sessions.
"Of course, the match is a reflection of those preparations. So we will continue to work hard and prepare ourselves as best we can.
"Hopefully the boys can run the show with the support of the technical team and the rest of the coaches."
Mamelodi Sundowns are still without attacking duo, Pavol Safranko and Gaston Sirino due to injury.
