"So far, so good; the preparations have been going well, and the boys have been responding very well; it's good to have the full squad," he said.

"The injured players have come back and are training with the team. So, it's good to have the likes of Khethokwakhe Masuku, Zukile Mkhize, Levy Mashiane, and Patrick Nyame.

"So, yeah, we are looking forward to the game. We know that it is going to be a tough game.
