BUCKLEY OUT OF BAFANA SQUAD
Borussia Dortmund winger Delron Buckley has withdrawn from South Africa’s squad for Saturday’s World Cup tie against Burkina Faso in Ouagadougou, officials said on Wednesday.
The 27-year-old has failed to recover from an ankle injury suffered when he played for South Africa against Iceland on August 17.
Buckley also misses the friendly against World Cup hosts Germany in Bremen on September 7.
Officials also said striker Benedict McCarthy had been given permission to skip training on Wednesday to fly to London for talks with English premier league club West Ham United.
South Africa are preparing for the key World Cup match in Germany this week.
