Cosafa Women's Cup: Banyana captain Janine Van Wyk ruled out

South Africa captain Janine Van Wyk has been ruled out of the remainder of the 2019 Cosafa Women's Cup due to a knee injury.

The JVW star was injured during Banyana Banyana's second Group A encounter with Malawi at the Wolfson Stadium on Friday.

Following the injury, the 32-year-old, who made her first start of the tournament, will be out on the sidelines for at least four weeks.

Reacting to her injury, the former Houston Dash defender is disappointed about the setback, but she vows to return to the field stronger while backing her side to retain the crown.
