Captain Refiloe Jane’s injury is “minor” and she should be back for the team’s must-win final World Cup group G game against Italy at Wellington Regional Stadium on Wednesday, Banyana Banyana’s team doctor says.
Italy’s 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Sweden on Saturday has left the door open for Banyana in the group despite the disappointment of the South Africans blowing a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 against Argentina on Friday.
Midfield kingpin Jane being stretchered off injured in the 25th minute after being clattered down in a rough challenge was a blow against Argentina. “Refiloe is doing well. After going for a scan it was confirmed that she sustained a soft tissue injury and she should be back on the field soon,” Maesela was quoted as saying.
