Pienaar skadad
Steven Pienaar kommer inte kunna spela mot Sierra Leone.
Pienaar har ådragit sig en skadad ljumske under en träning med Everton. Detta betyder att Bafana Bafana får klara sig utan Pienaar i matchen mot Sierra Leone på lördag. Pitso Mosimane har valt att inte ta ut någon ersättare för Pienaar utan man åker till Sierra Leone med 21 man. Det troliga är att Andile Jali kommer kommer ta Pienaars plats på mittfältet. Såhär säger Pito Mosimane om skadan till Sydafrikansk press:
“We are disappointed at the news that Pienaar can’t be with us on this important mission because of injury. He has been playing for both club and country and his experience would have been vital in Freetown, but I guess it’s the nature of the game and these things are to be expected. We have players to take his place and help us bring back the three points we need.I will not call up a replacement for him as I have named a 22-man squad, so I will travel with the remaining 21 players to Sierra Leone. At this point we would like to wish him a speedy recovery and hopefully he joins us in our next match,”
