The Glamour Boys will not be in action this weekend due to the Coca-Cola Cup taking place across the country. However, the Amakhosi have been hard at work preparing for the next league match against Jomo Cosmos scheduled for October 25.

Team doctor Phil Maepa gives the lowdown on injuries in the camp.

"Peter Matshitse is still my worry. He is still having problems with his neck following the head injury against Black Leopards,” says Dr Maepa.

"Otherwise he is being monitored on a daily basis and he appears to be doing well. But we won't rush him into action. We have to ensure that there are no complications with that injury.

"The second worry at the moment is David Kannemeyer. He has a chronic groin strain, which he obviously worsened when he was with the national team for the game against Costa Rica. Fortunately I was there with him and we continued with treatment and I have asked the physiotherapist to take care of the situation. Overall he should do well.

"I still have to assess what damages might have occurred during the weekend in Bloemfontein while I was on national duty."
