Bafana Bafana midfielder Themba Zwane will miss the next match after his red card against Mexico.
Following Thursday night's dismal opening match against Mexico, which culminated in a bruising 2-0 defeat, Bafana Bafana already find themselves in an incredibly sticky spot in Group A.
While the baseline result at the iconic Estadio Azteca was disappointing, it is the chaotic manner of the loss that will concern head coach Hugo Broos the most. South Africa also find themselves at the bottom of the group after South Korea beat Czechia 2-1 to go second behind Mexico.
Bafana next face Czechia, while South Korea take on Mexico in a match that could potentially decide who finishes top of the group standings.
South Africa were tactically poor against the co-hosts and struggled to impose themselves against the co-hosts, committing costly unforced errors in possession and ultimately finishing the match with just nine men on the pitch because of poor discipline.
