Serero Adds To Bafana Bafana’s Injury List

Vitesse Arnhem of Holland dazzler, Thulani Serero has been added to the injury list hitting Bafana Bafana of South Africa, ahead of Saturday’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Nigeria.
This was disclosed by the team’s coach, Stuart Baxter, who said Serero reported to camp with an ankle ailment.
Serero was only recently invited back to the team by Baxter, for the first time since snubbing a call-up in November last year, but the 28-year-old flew from his base at Arnhem, Holland with a knock, which he suffered in Vitesse’s 2-1 victory over Utrecht on Sunday.
Another injury scare upon reporting for duty was goalkeeper Ronwen Williams, but Baxter is confident both players will recover early, in order to be of value and decided against calling up any replacements.
Baxter revealed: “We had two scares – one was Ronwen Williams. We got a call from [Dr] Jon Patricios at the Sports Clinic saying that he had a slight knee strain and they would be examining him.
“We’re not going to call in another third keeper; we’re going to keep Ronwen because we think he’s going to be okay.
“The second one was Thulani Serero – we didn’t receive anything from the club or Thulani, but through media in Holland they said he had an ankle injury.”
