Injury blow hits South Africa preparations
Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Emile Baron is set to miss the World Cup after being ruled out for four months.
The SuperSport United stopper underwent surgery on Wednesday on his shoulder, which he injured while on tour with Carlos Alberto Parriera's charges in Brazil, and is only expected to make a full return to action in August.
The former Hellenic, Lillestrom and Kaizer Chiefs star said he is disappointed about the possibility of missing out on the World Cup.
"I don't know how to explain this man; I'm disappointed because it looks like I will sit out for four months in order to make a full recovery," he said.
"I underwent surgery on Wednesday and it was successful but there is nothing I can do at this stage, just to rest and wait to make a full recovery and any thing can happen," he concluded.
