SA coach Notoane says Mahlambi's father requested his release from Bafana camp

South Africa take on Botswana in their quarterfinal at the Princess Magogo Stadium on Sunday‚ but have replaced Mahlambi with Cape Town City winger Gift Links.

Notoane says he does not want his squad to be distracted by the Mahlambi issue‚ after media had reported that the player had been released after arriving in camp in a poor condition. “The reality of Phakamani’s situation is that even before he came into camp I had a chat with his father‚ who asked if the boy could be recused‚” Notoane told reporters on Thursday."But the due process within SAFA is that he should come in and have the doctors check what is the psychological state in terms of the personal problems he has got.

Notoane says he did not want to force the issue with the player and felt it was better to give him time away from the game.
