“What has been affecting us is injuries in terms of getting combinations right,” Zwane said via FARPost.

“Unfortunately, we are forced to chop and change the team. Today, we lost Mduduzi, last week we lost Caleb.

“Three weeks back, we lost two players, both right backs. A week before, we lost Ngcobo at training.

“It is obviously a worrying factor. It also affects the performance of individuals because when you think you’re getting the combinations right, then he’s losing that partner.

“You have to start looking for better options in terms of complementing each other because before you get it right, you have to make sure that the players understand each other.

“We’re always looking for that. And unfortunately, we haven’t been lucky when it comes to that.

“We’ve been unfortunate due to injuries as I’ve been saying. But we don’t have a choice, we gonna have to soldier on and focus on the positives,” the Soweto-born coach added.
