In a dramatic turn of events, the South African Under-23 squad due to compete in the Olympics had to release five players owing to medical reasons Tokyo2020 By eshlinv IOLsport

"The changes in the camp comes a week after Sascoc announced the final U23 men's Olympic squad for the rescheduled Tokyo Olympic Games to take place from July 22 to August 8, 2021.

“South Africa is in Group A together with hosts Japan who they play on July 22 at Tokyo Stadium and France who they meet at Saitama Stadium on July 25. The U23s will then round off their group stage matches against Mexico at the Sapporo Dome on July 28.”Meanwhile, Bafana Bafana will play in their third Cosafa Cup match against neighbouring nation Lesotho at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium tomorrow.

The South Africans enter the game on the back of consecutive 1-0 wins over Botswana and Eswatini, and will be looking for nothing less than a third win on the trot against the 146th ranked nation. Helman Mkhalele's team playing in the Cosafa Cup is largely made up of fringe players who will be aiming to impress in order to try and win selection to the Bafana squad that will attempt to qualify for the 2022 World Cup.

Bafana will also be looking to improve upon their performances from the opening two games of the tournament. While they did beat Eswatini and Botswana they should be beating most nations in Cosafa, with the exception of Zambia, with ease if they hope to be competitive against the best nations on the African continent.@EshlinV
