Blow for Bafana Bafana, Mamelodi Sundowns as Erasmus sprains both ankles

Mamelodi Sundowns striker Kermit Erasmus has suffered an injury ahead of Bafana Bafana's crucial 2022 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

The experienced player picked up the injury during the Tshwane giants' 2-1 win over Stellenbosch FC in a PSL match at Danie Craven Stadium last weekend.

As a result, Erasmus will miss Bafana's back-to-back Afcon qualifiers against Ghana and Sudan which will be played later this month as South Africa look to qualify for the finals.
