Chiefs’ Maboe joins Bafana camp despite ankle injury
'He is going to do a scan and the scan will tell us how far he is,' said Bafana head coach Pitso Mosimane
Kaizer Chiefs' attacking midfielder, Lebohang Maboe, has joined the Bafana Bafana national team despite suffering an ankle injury. The 32-year-old is set to undergo a scan to determine his availability for the upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Guinea and Eritrea. Maboe left the match against Golden Arrows on a stretcher following a goalless draw at Mbombela Stadium.
Coach Moses Mosimane informed the media that Maboe's injury is minor, and he should be cautious with it, giving him a chance to recover. Mosimane hopes Maboe will recover and be able to play in the three-week camp, which includes a friendly against Egypt. Maboe was named in Mosimane's initial Bafana squad due to his impressive form for Chiefs this season, with his last appearance for Bafana coming in a 3-2 friendly win over Uganda in June 2021.
