Mosimane provides Maboe injury update
Bafana play Guinea in the first 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at the Orlando Stadium.
Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Lebohang Maboe is set to remain with the national team, Bafana Bafana, despite suffering an ankle injury during yesterday's league match against Golden Arrows, according to head coach Pitso Mosimane. The coach confirmed that Maboe has a persistent ankle issue, though he has not suffered any physical contact.
The player has attended camp for the past three weeks, and Mosimane expressed optimism about his recovery, given Maboe's dedication to the team. The coach added, "We have a three-week camp. So, he’s gone for a scan and the scan will tell us how far he is." Following this update, Bafana will participate in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Guinea and Eritrea, followed by an international friendly match against Egypt.
Mosimane also disclosed the addition of former Golden Arrows goalkeeper Marcus Mashilo as the goalkeeper coach, while veteran opposition analyst Goolam Valodia and data analyst Tshepo Mahao from JS Kabylile are part of the technical staff.
