Veldwijk starts from the bench as Mashaba opts for caution in crunch qualifier

Bafana Bafana coach Shakes Mashaba has resisted the temptation to throw new call-up Lars Veldwijk into the lion’s den in Saturday’s World Cup qualifier against Senegal‚ opting to start with Eleazar Rodgers up-front instead. At 1.96 metres Veldwijk’s sheer size has impressed in training for the crucial Russia 2018 qualifier against the Lions of Teranga at Peter Mokaba Stadium.
