According to football 365.co.za injuries, continue to hamper Bafana Bafana coach, Joel Santana’s plans as Teko Modise has joined veteran midfielder anchorman MacBeth Sibaya of Russian outfit Ruban Kazan and Greek based right back Bryce Moon who plays for Panathinaikos, on the sidelines for these two important European friendlies against Germany and Ireland.
Bafana Bafana to Play Germany on Saturday
Bafana Bafana will play three time World champions Germany in Leverkusen in a friendly international on Saturday night at 8.45pm and strong Irish side in Limerick next Tuesday night.
The replacements are certainly not second rank players: Clifford Ngobeni, Lance Davids and Katlego Mashego have replaced the injured players.
Davids, has already played 16 times for his country but failed to get a game during June’s Confederations Cup. He is certainly versatile and can play either in a defensive midfield role or at right back.
22 year old, Johannesburg born Ngobeni’s – Ajax Cape Town midfielder, will be keen to stake his claim for a place in the squad either against Germany or Ireland.
Katlego Mashego replaces Teko Modise. They are teammates at Orlando Pirates.
“I think the team is leaving tonight and I will join them on Wednesday in Germany. Teko is has a swollen toe. So I have received a late call-up to the squad,” Mashego said to Kickoff.
The European based players in the squad will meet up with their teammates in Leverkusen on Wednesday.
