Tuesday’s home draw with Lamontville Golden Arrows means the club have taken three points from the last 12 available‚ which has put their top-eight place under threat‚ though it would take others behind them to excel to be knocked out of the top half. The team need five points from their final three games this season to avoid matching‚ or falling short‚ of that lowest points total and none of their remaining fixtures look simple.
The decline in competitiveness of the side over a relatively short period will be of serious concern to club management‚ especially as recent expensive acquisitions such as Khama Billiat and Leonardo Castro appear to have done little to change their fortunes. Middendorp said that in his opinion Khune has no chance of recovering from his long-term shoulder injury in time for Egypt 2019‚ where SA meet Ivory Coast in their first group D game on June 23.
“Until now he has not even trained with any ball involved at all‚” Middendorp said‚ asked about Khune’s state of fitness.
