Benni McCarthy, the top scorer for the Bafana Bafana, has withdrawn from the upcoming African Cup of Nations due to persistent calf pain that has plagued him throughout the season. The Orlando Pirates striker won’t be the only absence, as Kaizer Chiefs defender Eric Mathoho is also ruled out due to a knee injury. Despite these setbacks, coach Gordon Igesund expresses confidence in the remaining squad members and is set to announce the final list of 23 players for the competition on Sunday. South Africa is placed in Group A alongside Cape Verde, Angola, and Morocco.
