Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp hints Bafana Bafana may have to go to Afcon 2019 without Itumeleng Khune

Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune is likely to miss the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, according to coach Ernst Middendorp.

The German mentor said while Khune is recovering well from his shoulder, the 31-year-old shot-stopper hasn't even started doing ball work with goalkeeper coach Lee Baxter.

"Regarding Itu Khune, what are you expecting me to answer? Is he fit? Let's be honest, seriously, it's nearly the end of April. Not even now, not even over shoulder. There's no ball involved at all," Middendorp told reporters at the FNB Stadium on Tuesday.
