The six players who did duty for Bafana Bafana against Brazil and Mozambique returned to Naturena on Thursday and were taken through their paces in preparation for the game against Black Leopards on Saturday, kick off is at 20:15.
Goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune, defenders Siboniso Gaxa and Eric Mathoho, midfielders Siphiwe Tshabalala and Reneilwe Letsholonyane including ‘red hot’ Bernard Parker looked in good spirits at training.
Coach Stuart Baxter joked with Bernard Parker on how he took Brazil and Chelsea centre back David Luiz to the cleaners and congratulated him on his brace against Mozambique; “Well taken goals,” said Baxter who will be hoping that Parker keeps the form he has shown since the start of the season.
Chiefs Head Coach was pleased with the return of his players but expressed his concerns about the possible fatigue; “I am delighted that there is no serious injury. The players though do look bit tired from all the travelling. They were back this morning and we had a briefing. We will make a decision on Friday on who is going to play against Black Leopards this Saturday,”
