Bafana Bafana midfielder Steven Pienaar will be available for selection when Bafana Bafana take on Iraq on Sunday ( 14 June) in the opening match of the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup.
Pienaar underwent an MRI scan on Monday (08 June) which confirmed initial diagnosis of a mild ankle sprain - which is not as serious as initially thought. Pienaar will be monitored by the medical team throughout the week. In the morning he joined his teammates in the gymnasium before going for the scan.
The midfielder twisted his right ankle in the second half of Bafana Bafana’s one nil win over Poland on Saturday, 06 June 2009 at the Orlando Stadium. Also given a clean bill of health were Teko Modise and Tsepo Masilela who both missed the clash against Poland due to niggling injuries. The two players were also at training this morning.
