“Everyone in is still available for Sunday except Zungu,” said Ntseki, after his side had lost their opening Group C qualifier 2-0 to Ghana on Thursday at the Cape Coast Stadium.

Zungu was stretchered-off with a serious-looking injury in the first half, a blow for Bafana, and for his French side Amiens, where he had only just started to make his comeback from another injury, that caused him to miss last month’s Nelson Mandela Challenge against Mali.
Ntseki does still have plenty of options in midfield for the game at Orlando Stadium against Sudan, who opened their Group C campaign with a 4-0 hammering of group minnows Sao Tome on Wednesday.
Kamohelo Mokotjo was not regarded as 100 percent fit to play Ghana, but should be fit and available for the Sudan match, while Ntseki also has diminutive Guingamp midfielder Lebo Phiri in his squad.
