The team was, however, dealt a blow with two members of the squad testing positive for Covid-19.

Belenenses defender Thibang Phete and the Mamelodi Sundowns striker Thabiso Kutumela were unable to travel with their teammates and have been placed in isolation.

The Bafana team doctor, Tshepo Molobi, confirmed the positives cases following their last round of testing.

“We have tried our level best to ensure that the national team remains safe while in camp.

“It is always daunting to try and pinpoint as to where and when the infection happened.

“Every measure is taken to ensure the safety of everyone in the camp.”

Another round of testing will be conducted when the team is in Zimbabwe.

Bafana face Zimbabwe at 15:00 tomorrow afternoon and will host Ghana on Monday evening at 18:00.
