As some of the restrictions on European-based footballers travelling to represent African national teams are eased, South Africa’s national team are not among the sides who are obtaining last-second relief. South Africa continues to be an example where travelers returning from the country are subjected to lengthy quarantines and this has caused four players to be unavailable for Bafana Bafana’s crucial Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers: Dean Furman, Bongani Zungu, Keagan Dolly and Thulani Serero.
Bafana Bafana coach Molefi Ntseki expresses his disbelief at South Africa’s unfortunate situation in IOL’s report on the issue while Kick Off lists the players called up by Ntseki to replace those who will not be available.
