Africa-Press – South-Africa. The Lesotho Football Association (Lefa) has threatened to protest if Bafana Bafana include Teboho Mokoena in their match-day squad for the Fifa World Cup qualifier at Free State Stadium on Friday (6pm).
Lefa believes Mokoena, who was fielded in their last game against Bafana — a 2-0 win to South Africa in Polokwane in March — when he should have been serving a suspension, should not play against them on Friday.
This is despite Mokoena having served that one-match suspension belatedly when he sat out the match after Bafana’s win against Lesotho, their 2-0 away victory against Benin played in Ivory Coast days later. The matter is also still under Fifa’s review, so Bafana remain in danger of a three-point deduction.
Bafana coach Hugo Broos dismissed the threats. “I am not used to commenting or reacting to nonsense and I will not do it here, thank you,” he said.
