The player was shoe in the team but injury kept him out
Mohau Nkota has underwent operation on his knee which saw him miss Hugo Broos' Bafana Bafana World Cup squad.

"The club family wishes the player a speedy recovery, full health, and a quick return to the pitch to continue his career with the team."
