We will qualify for AFCON, don't press panic buttons - Tau & Baxter
from Soccer Hosted by SABC Sport
Bafana Bafana head coach Stuart Baxter has been forced to ruing in more changes to his squad ahead of the two all-important 2019 African Nations Cup qualifiers against Seychelles on Saturday and next Tuesday. Injuries to Mamelodi Sundowns right wing back Thapelo Morena and Orlando Pirates midfielder Vincent Pule have forced Baxter to call-up Cape Town City captain Thamsanqa Mkhize and Bucs’ attacker Thembinkosi Lorch as replacements. Bafana were already reeling from injuries to some of their overseas based star players but Baxter is confident that replacements will be equal to the task at hand. Group E has been rocked by the latest news coming from the Libyan camp that their national team head coach Adel Amrouche has resigned from his job just few days before their game against Nigeria in Kaduna. Libya and Bafana are tied on four points with the North Africans leading the group on a superior goal difference. The top two teams automatically qualify for Cameroon next year and Belgian based attacker Percy Tau believes that Bafana stand a good chance of being one of the 24 nations in the AFCON next year.
