This is a name Nigerians
won't forget in hurry, the South Africa scored twice in front of a fully parked
new Akwa Ibom international Stadium, Uyo to deny the defending champions the
opportunity to defend their title.
The player was instrumental
in South Africa's unbeaten streak leading to their qualification for the
showpiece.
Tokelo Rantie dislocated his
shoulder while in action for club Bournemouth when they held Ipswich Town to a
2 all draw. The attacker now faces a race to be fit for the African Cup Of
Nations in Equitorial Guinea, which kicks off on the 17th January 2014.
Bournemouth assistant manager
Jason Tindall is optimistic of Ranties chances of making it to the 2015 AFCON.
He told the clubs official website, “I said to him the
other day, we are probably getting him fit now for the African Cup of Nations.

“As soon as he gets fit he will probably have to go
away, but we are hoping to have him back just after Christmas. If we can get
him back and get him some game time then that would be great because he was
looking really sharp before he unfortunately injured his shoulder.”
Many
Nigerians will be hoping the South Africa hitman isnt be fit enough for the
tournament as a payback for depriving their darling super eagles the
opportunity of flying Nigerias flag at the event.
