Mkhalele Names Cosafa Squad – iDiski Times

Helman Mkhalele has named his final 23-player squad for the Cosafa Cup which kicks off in Durban next week.

Mkhalele has been been working with the provisional team, which is predominantly made up of U23 players for the past few days and has now cut his squad down to 23.

The squad is made up of 22 locally-based players, with Katlego Mashigo from Portadown in Ireland being the only exception.

Bafana will kick off their Cosafa campaign in the Quarter-Finals where they will take on Mozambique, as they look to defend the title they won last year.
