Banyana Banyana have suffered a blow after it was confirmed that their striker Thembi Kgatlana’s participation in the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Morocco ended on Sunday evening.
An injured Kgatlana was substituted by Nthabiseng Majiya in the 70th minute during Banyana’s 1-0 win over Botswana in Rabat.
“Thembi Kgatlana sustained a complete rapture of the Achilles tendon during the match against Botswana, which was confirmed by a scan. Unfortunately, she will be out for the whole tournament,” Banyana team medic Dr Rodney Mokoka said.
Meanwhile, Banyana are going to play against Tunisia in the quarter-finals at the Prince Moulay Hassan Stadium on Thursday.
