Losing Nyatama a big blow – Mokwena

Nyatama, who scored in his previous game for Bucs when they beat Maritzburg United 2-1, is serving a one-match suspension after obtaining four yellow cards.

“Losing a player of Musa’s quality is a big blow. We knew about him being on the brink of suspension because he was sitting on three yellow cards,” Mokoena told the club’s website.

“Having said that, we have been working hard with the group to incorporate the different players into our game model so that there isn’t too much change when we lose one or two players to injury or suspension.

“The club is rich with talented players and while we will miss Musa, we are also prepared as we have depth and quality in the midfield. There are adequate replacements that are capable of filling the void that Musa will leave. We have a plan, and we have an ace up our sleeve. This is the art of war,” concluded Mokoena.
