Bafana Bafana and SuperSport can breathe a sigh of relief following the latest news on goalkeeper and captain Ronwen Williams.
The 30-year-old was taken off in the 57th minute in SuperSport’s goalless draw against Marumo Gallants after suffering an injury and was completely left out of the Tshwane outfit’s squad who faced Stellenbosch on Tuesday, with long-time backup Boalefa Pule in goals and Thamsanqa Gabuza handed the armband in his absence.
Reports in local media suggested that Williams’ injury could be long-term and would ultimately see him miss the rest of the season as well as Bafana Bafana’s crucial AFCON qualifiers next month.

The news will come as a relief for both Andre Arendse and Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos.
