Bloemfontein Celtic on Wednesday he confirmed that his case against Mamelodi sundowns for fielding an ineligible player in the Nedbank Cup final has been submitted by the Premier Soccer League (PSL) for urgent arbitration.
“Our case against Mamelodi Sundowns has been referred to urgent arbitration,” the club said in a statement. “The club will announce the date once it is confirmed by the league.”
Bloemfontein Celtic made an official complaint in their 1-0 loss in Saturday’s Nedbank Cup final against Sundowns for fielding ineligible Tebogo Langerman.
The veteran defender was named to the bench, but just before it looked like they were going to be introduced as a substitute, the coaching staff had a sudden change in attitude.
The 34-year-old Sundowns player was suspended for receiving four yellow cards, which means an automatic one-game suspension.
PSL prosecutor Nande Becker admitted that Sundowns could face misconduct charges even though he did not participate on the field of play as he was still included in the team of the day.
Mosimane later stated that he was not aware of the error, but Becker explained that once the facts have been analyzed, the Brazilians could face repercussions.
“I think there was a problem with one of the Sundowns players. I don’t have the full details yet, I just called the football department to send me a copy of the match report. I will review it and see if any further steps need to be taken.” said Becker, according to SowetanLive.
