"KHUNE'S "MINI" GROIN INJURY ADD TO BAFANA WOES"

Death by Sowetan's headline

Sowetan reported that:

 "Four Kaizer Chiefs players were initially called to play for Bafana on Saturday when they face Australia at the ANZ stadium for an international friendly, but the players will not be going."

"The Bafana Bafana team Doctor says Khune pulled his groin; Bernard Parker has been troubled by his ankle for a while, Tshepo Masilela has a knee injury and Simphiwe Tshabalala has a toe problem"

Continue for more after the cut...

The Bafana Bafana coach, Gordon Igesund released the following statement:

“I can confirm that players that are out are Oupa Manyisa, Thabo Matlaba, Itumeleng Khune, Kagisho Dikgacoi, Tsepo Masilela, Siphiwe Tshabalala, Bernard Parker, Andile Jali, Siyanda Xulu and Sibusiso Vilakazi, and in their place I've called up Hlompho Kekana for 'KG’, Thuso Phala for 'Shabba', Thato Mokeke for Masilela, Kermit Erasmus for Parker and Eric Mathoho for Xulu. I also called up Vilakazi to replace Jali but then he later got injured. In his place I've called up Teko Modise instead. I wanted to acknowledge Teko's form by calling him up.”
