This time around, Sihlangu Captain Lindo Mkhonta and youthful left back Kwakhe Tfwala are expected to be on this game, after being left out on last Friday\u2019s game in Cape Verde. \u201cThe senior men\u2019s national team head coach will miss the services of Captain Lindo Mkhonta due to the red card he got in the TotalEnergies AFCON qualifier match against Burkina Faso and Kwakhe Thwala who is nabbed by the yellow card rule after he received his second yellow card during the same match. Both players will be available for selection in the second leg against Cape Verde,\u201d the Eswatini Football Association said in a statement last week.<\/p>\n
