Bafana Bafana: Ntseki calls up Rikhotso to replace injured Mokoena

Bafana Bafana coach Molefi Ntseki has called up Bloemfontein Celtic defender Tshepo Rikhotso to replace the injured Luckyboy Mokoena.

The Highlands Park defender has pulled out of the camp ahead of the international friendly against Zambia set for this weekend owing to an injury.

Mokoena was initially roped in to cover for Mamelodi Sundowns right-back Thapelo Morena, but has since been replaced after suffering an injury against Polokwane City in the MTN8 last weekend.

Morena, meanwhile, is sidelined due to a groin strain suffered during Sundowns' Caf Champions League victory Otoho d’Oyo over a week ago.
