Bafana Bafana captain Ronwen Williams feels gutted for Richard Ofori after he missed out on the Fifa World Cup squad with Ghana following an injury.
Journalist
Williams said he had spoken to Ofori before the final squad was announced and he had been excited about the prospect of going to Qatar. His teammate at the Buccaneers, Miguel Timm, revealed that they had spoken about situations like this happening to Ofori before the MTN8 final, but the goalkeeper was ready to take the risk and play that match. “The last time we spoke was two days ago and he was still waiting for his results. I also just learned it now. We spoke about the situation because I know he really wanted to play in the final and that was a risk he was willing to take.
