BROOS: RAYNERS SET TO STEP IN FOR INJURED FOSTER

- Jonty Mark

Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos is unlikely to make many changes for today's Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) Group K qualifier against Congo-Brazzaville, especially given how resoundingly his side thumped the same opposition on Friday.

Striker Lyle Foster, however, was confirmed yesterday to be out of the game in Brazzaville, after the injury he picked up at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha.

“Fortunately the nature of the injury does not require surgery,” said Bafana team doctor Tshepo Molobi.

“However, time has to be afforded to him for proper rehabilitation and this is why he has been ruled out of the match.”
