In a huge setback for both Bafana Bafana and Mamelodi Sundowns, Themba Zwane (below) is set to be out for several months after tearing his achilles against Congo-Brazzaville on Tuesday.

Zwane was stretchered off after 40 minutes of South Africa's 1-1 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying Group K draw in Brazzaville.

The 35-year-old playmaker had collapsed on the pitch without contact from any opposition player.

Bafana head coach Hugo Broos also admitted that the loss of Zwane may have been part of the reason the side failed to pick up maximum points in Brazzaville.
