- SAZI HADEBE — DDC

Bafana Bafana coach Stuart Baxter has confirmed that Dino Ndlovu‚ Lebo Phiri and Percy Tau are the last outstandin­g members of his squad yet to report for duty ahead of the crucial back-to-back 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Seychelles.

Baxter said striker Percy Tau and Phiri boarded the same flight in Europe and they were both expected to touch down in Johannesbu­rg on Monday.

“We are waiting for Dino

Ndlovu.

“His flight was a little longer than anybody else‚” said Baxter on Monday.

“Lebo Phiri will join us [on Monday afternoon]. And also Percy will be arriving on the same flight. I hope they can both train with us [on Monday afternoon].”

Bafana meet Seychelles at the FNB Stadium on Saturday in the first match and then head to the 189th ranked Indian Ocean islanders on Sunday for the return fixture to be played on

Tuesday.

Baxter also disclosed that late fitness scans will determine whether Mamelodi Sundowns right-back Thapelo Morena and Pirates winger Vincent Pule‚ who came to the camp with niggling injuries‚ will remain with the team or not.

Bafana are placed second behind Libya with four points on goal difference in Group E‚ with Nigeria third with three points and Seychelles at the bottom with zero points.
