Ellis relishes leading Banyana against the Dutch

The match against the Dutch is ideal preparation for the Afcon qualifiers against Mozambique, and Ellis expects her team to be given an acid test. “I am excited to finally have everyone in camp and we are looking forward to the match against the Dutch. The players are excited and we will see how things will go. Training went well yesterday and the players are looking sharp,” said Ellis.

All the players have reported for national team duty, except Scotland-based striker Ode Fulutudilu, who will meet the team when they arrive in Netherlands next week. Ellis has been forced to make a change, bringing in Ntombifikile Ndlovu from Sunflower for the injured Kgaelebane Mohlakoana of Bloemfontein Celtic.

Captain Janine van Wyk and Fulutudilu, who recently won the league title in Scotland with Glasgow Rangers, are part of the travelling squad to Europe. They will be joined by the duo from Spanish side SD Eibar's Thembi Kgatlana and Noko Matlou, who were part of the team that won friendly matches against Botswana and Zambia in April.Janine van Wyk , Tiisetso Makhubela , Noko Matlou , Bambanani Mbane Karabo Dhlamini , Bongeka Gamede .Ntombifikile Ndlovu , Ongeziwe Ndlangisani , Oratile Mokwena , Mamello Makhabane , Nomvula Kgoale , Robyn Moodaly , Noxolo Cesane , Gabriela Salgado .
