Injuries to four key players have left Bafana Bafana caretaker coach Owen da Gama with plenty to think about ahead of Tuesday night’s friendly international against Angola.

Bafana host the Angolans at Buffalo City Stadium in East London and defenders Eric Mathoho and Thulani Hlatshwayo‚ and midfielders Dean Furman and Andile Jali are doubtful for the encounter.

The four were injured during Saturday’s 3-1 over Guinea-Bissau in Durban and Da Gama will have shuffle his deck if they do not recover in time for the Angola match.

“It’s a concern when you have players injured but the good thing is that we have brought a good number of players with lots of quality‚ so we will not rush these ones back‚” Da Gama said.

“We had already said we are going to make changes‚ so if the quartet doesn’t recover on time for the match we are still covered.

“After Monday night’s training session‚ we will have to check their status with the medical team and take it from there.” - TMG Digital/TMG Sport
