Bafana Bafana coach Pitso Mosimane has provided an injury update on midfielder Lebohang Maboe, who was injured during Kaizer Chiefs' match against Golden Arrows. The injury occurred in a recent league game, and Mosimane confirmed that Maboe is receiving medical attention. The coach did not specify the severity of the injury but emphasized that the team is monitoring the situation closely.
Maboe, a key player for both Kaizer Chiefs and the national team, has been a regular in the squad. His absence could impact Bafana Bafana's attacking options, especially as the team prepares for upcoming matches. The coach also mentioned that the team is working on strengthening its defensive and forward positions ahead of key tournaments.
In addition to the injury update, Mosimane announced the appointment of a new goalkeeper coach for the national team. The new coach is expected to bring experience and expertise to the squad. This move comes as Bafana Bafana looks to address long-standing issues in both the striker and centre-back positions.
The team is now focusing on the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, where results could determine their qualification prospects. With key players under scrutiny, the coaching staff is under pressure to ensure the team is in optimal condition for the challenges ahead.
