Watch as Bafana Bafana coach Stuart Baxter named his 24-man squad to face Seychelles in a double-header African Nations Cup qualifier this month, writes DEAN WORKMAN.
Bafana will look to grab all six points in the back-to-back fixtures after a 2-0 victory over Nigeria and a 0-0 home draw against Libya saw them pick up four points and sit second in Group E, level with log-leaders Libya, who have a better goal difference.

The first fixture will see Baxter’s men host the Islanders at the FNB Stadium on 13 October before they travel to Seychelles and play on the 16 October at the Stade Linite Stadium.
Baxter named a much-changed squad from the one who faced Libya as he included the likes of Thapelo Morena, Lebo Maboe, Thabo Nodada, Teboho Mokoena, Dino Ndlovu and Phakamani Mahlambi.
The changes were largely down to injuries as Bradley Grobler, Bongani Zungu, Themba Zwane and Keagan Dolly all missed out on selection due to Baxter not willing to risk the long-term futures of the injured players.
