“In terms of preparations, so far so good. The boys look okay, it’s only the injuries we have that are now killing our momentum in terms of the combinations.

“Losing (Phathutshedzo) Nange, who is suspended, and (Kearyn) Baccus, because of a thigh injury, we thought he was going to be available.

“We tried to push it, thinking he might pass a late fitness test, unfortunately, he could not make it and he’s not going to be available for this game.

“Keagan Dolly has a calf injury as well, which he picked up on Wednesday. He’s going to be out for 6-8 weeks. (Samir) Nurkovic is going to be out with a knee injury.

“So all those injuries happened towards the end of our preparations. Now we had to reassert other things and prepare the team in terms of combination play,” Zwane lamented.
