Bafana Bafana coach Stuart Baxter has admitted that it has been frustrating that on an eve of an important match he has not been able to start preparations with a complete squad.
A number of players arrived late in camp for various reasons while others have withdrawn from the team.
Baxter has three training sessions remaining with a complete team ahead of a crucial 2018 FIFA World Cup game against Senegal on Friday.
However, the coach does not feel he’s faced with a crisis.
“The frustration is that you know it can happen, deterioration, is like some of them are injured, and then it’s not like I don’t know what I’m doing, so we know what we are doing. We know the players are here. I’m looking at it as a challenge not a problem, its better because there is proper training and we are moving in the right direction, but is it exactly how I wanted it? No it’s not,” says Baxter.
