Bafana Bafana striker Lyle Foster goes through his paces at training as legend Itumeleng Khune rallies support for the number 9.
Former Bafana Bafana captain and goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune has rallied behind striker Lyle Foster, urging the forward to remain confident despite growing criticism ahead of the FIFA World Cup.
Foster has been under scrutiny from sections of supporters following a penalty miss against Nicaragua in Bafana’s previous friendly, adding pressure as the squad moves into the final phase of preparation for the tournament.
The spotlight now shifts firmly to Friday’s final warm-up match against Jamaica, which will serve as Hugo Broos’ last opportunity to fine-tune his squad before the World Cup opener against Mexico.
The fixture is expected to provide a more physical and structured test, with Broos focusing on attacking combinations, pressing triggers and defensive transitions under match pressure.
