• Bafana pay cuts, but Gordon ok

Claasen had missed the last two games of last season after picking up the injury and the three Bafana Bafana matches last month, including the opening two games on the road to Brazil 2014.

The nuggety midfielder has not yet seen any action in pre-season friendlies but is back in full training with his club, officials said.

It opens up the possibility that he might yet move from the Belgian club to a higher profile league in Europe. Claasen had previously been linked with English Premier League outfit Queen's Park Rangers.

It will also come as a boost to new national coach Gordon Igesund, who will select his first squad in the next month. One of Claasen's two South African compatriots at Lierse has left - Siboniso Gaxa has gone to Kaizer Chiefs, while Lance Davids is still at the Belgian outfit but is looking for another club.

Claasen is one of just five South Africans now left in Belgium - Anele Ngcongca at former champions Racing Genk; Ayanda Patosi and Ebrahim Seedat at cup winners Lokeren and goalkeeper Darren Keet at Kortrijk.

Gud news for Bafana bafana, that gut is the promising young star with a great potential, we just need to replace Teko with this guy, they play the same position and Claasen is more aggressive with more accurate passes. We just have to replace some of the useless players on our current starting 11, we can still make it 4 the 2014 wc, with a knowladgeable coach that we have now.

Cricket and Rugby in this country will never change. Black players will continue being marginalised besides their capabilities and efforts.
