Bafana Bafana defender Rivaldo Coetzee will be
assessed today (Monday) to determine if he will be available for
Wednesday's league clash against Polokwane City
The 18-year-old played only two matches at the Afcon finals in
Equatorial Guinea due after sustaining a knee injury in the opening game
against Algeria. Ajax coach Roger de Sa, however, believes that Coetzee should be ready to return to the field against Rise and Shine at the Cape Town Stadium,
allaying fears that he would serve a lengthy spell on the sidelines by the Bafana medical staff.
"He only played two games (at the Afcon) and he's only 18, so he should be pretty fresh. He had a break, he's had a good rest, but he's travelled a lot. They went via (Ethiopia on their way home) that's not in our control and we'll see him back on Monday and assess how good he is and how fit he is, and then make that call," De Sa told the Sowetan.
Apart from Coetzee, the Mother City club can call on the likes of Nazeer Allie and young Musa Lebusa to stop their Limpopo opponents.
