The South African club Mamelodi Sundowns has decided to provisionally suspend its performance analyst, Mario Masha, who is suspected of leaking sensitive internal information related to the first team.

A long-standing figure in the technical staff, Masha joined the club during the era of coach Pitso Mosimane and had been considered a trusted member within the sports management team.

Despite his denials, club management opted to temporarily remove him from his duties while a thorough investigation is carried out to shed full light on the matter.

According to the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC), the investigation focuses on the possible transmission of tactical plans, data from training sessions, and passwords granting access to analysis platforms used by the technical staff.

This delicate situation arises just days before a crucial encounter against MC Alger, now coached by Rulani Mokwena, the former Sundowns boss.

In the CAF Champions League group standings, Sundowns are currently third with 6 points, trailing Al-Hilal (8 points) and MC Alger (7 points), with the final matchday of the group stage approaching.
