Former South Africa defender David Nyathi has warned the current Bafana Bafana team that Ghana will not be a weakened side in the absence of some of their star players during Thursday’s Africa Cup of Nations Group C qualifier at FNB Stadium.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions, Ghana will be without captain Andre Ayew, his brother Jordan Ayew of Crystal Palace and Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey who will only be available for their last match of the campaign against Sao Tome e Principe.
With the trio forming a vital cog in the Black Stars squad, Nyathi feels that their absence will not render the West Africans a weak outfit as he demands a more competitive mentality from South Africa.
