Bafana Bafana head coach Scott Parker has given an injury update on Bafana Bafana striker Lyle Foster who has been out quite for some time.
Foster picked up an injury in South Africa's 5-0 rout of Congo Brazzaville in the AFCON qualifiers at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in September.
He injured his left knee and was subsequently ruled out of the national team's following match.
He has missed a lot of club matches and current Bafana Bafana matches against Uganda and South Sudan.
According to the reports in England, Foster was anticipated to return just after the international this week.
However, Parker has confirmed that Foster will remain sidelined for several more weeks due to the severity of the injury.
PARKER ON WHEN FOSTER COULD RETURN FROM INJURY
“Lyle will still be a few weeks,” Parker said as per Burnley Express.
“He had a big injury, so it will be a few weeks. But Joe Worrall is in the right place.
“We’ve got some big players on the treatment table, Aaron Ramsey, Jordan Beyer, Nathan Redmond…they’re moving in the right direction and hopefully we can get them back and they can also help and add to what we need.”
