Bafana go into this match with a morale boost as influential midfielder Teboho Mokoena is available for selection after missing the side’s gallant 1-0 win over South Korea in Monterrey due to suspension.
Canada coach Jesse Marsch also has good news because captain and defender Alphonso Davies is set to return from a hamstring injury after missing the co-host team’s opening three matches.
