Baxter said the paperwork for Untersee‚ who was born in South Africa‚ to be available for Bafana is close to completion.
The coach said he was aware it might be disruptive bringing a completely unknown player into Bafana on the eve of a major tournament‚ and suggested he might also use Cosafa as a testing ground for Untersee.Explaining the complications with the documentation the coach said: “We thought it would be a simple process because he was born here. Burt he was born here to parents who weren’t South African‚ and who were not on‚ let’s say‚ the optimal visas at that time.
“‘Are you going to add value?’‚ or ‘I’m sorry‚ but this is not the right time. Maybe after Afcon we can slide you in’. “But that is a consideration. You don’t just upset the group for no apparent reason just because he’s got a history that’s quite attractive.”
