Bafana Bafana players have been given the afternoon off after two grueling training sessions in Cape Town on Saturday (4 January 2014) and Sunday (5 January).
They will report back for duty on Sunday evening.
Head coach Gordon Igesund took the players through their paces at the Santos training fields in Lansdowne, Cape Town and was impressed with the work.
“I am expecting the Kaizer Chiefs players tonight and we have a lot of work to do in a short space of time. At the moment we are doing the best we can but the players are looking good and raring to go. They are really working hard because they are aware of what is expected of them. They look very confident, and it would be great for the rest of the players to join up with the national team so I can work with the full team,” said Igesund after Sunday’s training session.
