Lebese has struggled to find a place in the Downs’ starting line-up at Sundowns after joining the club from Kaizer Chiefs at the beginning of the season.
In one game Lebese asked to be substituted after he struggled to cope with the pace of the game.
Sundowns fitness coach Kabelo Rangoaga is happy with the progress that Lebese has made in the programme the club designed for him.
“George lost 8kg and that was the first step,” Rangoaga was quoted as saying by the Sunday World.
“You can see he is coming. Pitso is still working on him and at least the weight in gone. So his confidence is back.”
