South Africa national team doctor Thulani Ngwenya has confirmed that Dean Furman and Thulani Serero will not make it for both Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Ghana and Sudan, while Bongani Zungu will only link up with the team for their final group game.
Bafana Bafana conclude their qualifying campaign away in Sudan on Sunday, after having hosted the Black Stars in Thursday’s penultimate fixture.
English League Two side Carlisle United had indicated that it is up to Furman to report for international duty while Serero’s club Al Jazira did not allow him to travel to South Africa.
