"Evidence is now training with the group since maybe one week ago. So, it's close, (he is) now getting the rhythm in training with the group," said Riveiro, speaking to journalists after the weekend's match.
"Erasmus had a very small problem in Sekhukhune's game in Polokwane, so he was not available for today's game," the coach added.
