Untersee forced to bide his time at Empoli

Johannesburg-born Joel Untersee (left) has yet to make a Serie A appearance for Empoli this season. He was again an unused substitute this weekend as they drew 3-3 at Frosinone on Sunday. The 24 year-old was singled out by Stuart Baxter as a player he wants to call up for Bafana Bafana, but as yet he has not made the squad, with the South African Football Association said to be still sorting out his papers. Untersee, a defender, did make 15 league appearances for Empoli last season as they won promotion from Serie B.
