Zwane missed Sundowns’ game against Golden Arrows which coach Pitso Mosimane’s men lost 3-2 at the Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium on Sunday afternoon because of the injury.
The locally-based Bafana Bafana players assembled on Sunday night, while the overseas-based South African players will join the rest of the team on Monday in Accra Ghana.
Lebohang Phiri, Bongani Zungu, Lebo Mothiba (all France); Thulani Serero (Abu Dhabi); Percy Tau, Darren Keet (both Belgium); as well as Kamohelo Mokotjo (England) will be with the team on Monday night before the team travel by bus to Cape Coast.
