One goal conceded: Will Bafana Bafana feel Itumeleng Khune's absence against Libya?

South Africa is heading into the do-or-die clash against Libya without their reliable No.1 goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune.

Bafana Bafana were dealt a significant blow in their bid to secure their place in this year's Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) finals which will be hosted by Egypt between June and July.

Khune was ruled out for the remainder of the 2018/19 campaign after he picked up a serious shoulder injury and he will now miss Bafana's final Afcon qualifier against the Mediterranean Knights in Tunisia on Sunday.
