When the team arrived in Abidjan, where they face Ivory Coast on Tuesday evening, the Bafana medical team confirmed a knee injury was behind Lepasa’s departure from the camp, according to Broos. “I was surprised and, again, a little bit angry when I read in the media that there was a clash between me and Lepasa – this is a very, very big lie,” said Broos.
“There has never been a clash, the only thing that Lepasa suffers from is his knee after the game from Friday, and it became worse overnight. “So, we decided, together with the doctor, that it was better not to go to Ivory Coast because he certainly wouldn’t play the game here on Tuesday – he wouldn’t be ready so, therefore, he went to his club.”“I can show an MRI so the proof is there, but yeah, okay, in South Africa they always try to look for something negative. Let’s repeat again, there has been no clash between me and Lepasa,” he concluded.
