Johannesburg – Kaizer Chiefs defender Siboniso Gaxa has been ruled out of the Bafana Bafana squad to face Lesotho, Central African Republic and Ethiopia in their upcoming international matches.
Gaxa was suffering from a hamstring injury which forced him to leave the field in the final of the Nedbank Cup last Saturday, where Chiefs defeated Supersport United 1-0.
The right back would be replaced by Russia-based Siyanda Xulu.
Gaxa joined fellow defender Tsepo Masilela and midfielder Kagisho Dikgacoi on the sidelines.
Bafana Bafana would assemble for their training camp on Wednesday night in Johannesburg. – Sapa
