Stuart Baxter: 'Don't write off Bafana'
Bafana Bafana coach Stuart Baxter is calling on all South Africans to back Bafana in the World Cup qualifier against Senegal on friday.
Bafana must beat Senegal home and away to book that ticket to Russia 2018.
Bafana will know today if Itumeleng Khune will be fit for the clash
The goalkeeper suffered a fracture to his face just above his eye when he collided with Kurt Leintjies during Kaizer Chiefs' Telkom Knockout victory over Chippa United on Sunday.
The Senegal team features some big names who play across Europe, Saido Mane from Liverpool, Idrissa Gueye from Everton, Diafro Sakho and Cheike Kouyate both from West Ham United.
The match takes place at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, the same venue that saw Ghanian referee Joseph Lamptey officiate in what proved to be a match-fixing scandal.
Baxter says the whole nation must believe Bafana can beat Senegal home and away.
