Lee Baxter: Itumeleng Khune could have made Bafana Bafana's Afcon squad

Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper coach Lee Baxter admits that Itumeleng Khune could have been included in South Africa's squad for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) finals.

The accomplished goalkeeper picked up a serious shoulder injury midway through this past campaign and was ruled out for the rest of the season.

However, Baxter has since disclosed that Khune is on the road to recovery and could have been ready to do duty at the continental showpiece.

“Khune worked hard. He was given a program that will have him ready to play by the start of the season,” Baxter told Isolezwe.
