South Africa national team spokesman Matlhomola Morake said that Tokelo Rantie, Rivaldo Coetzee and Bernard Parker would be available selection when the team plays against Mali in an international friendly on Wednesday.

During the fixture against Cameroon last Saturday Parker was substituted in the 54th minute, while Rantie and Coetzee completed the match.

It was subsequently learned all three players had been adversely affected during the fixture and they even sat out of training on Monday.

However, indications are that they are well on the road to recovery and ready to return to the fray this week.

"Parker, Rantie and Coetzee rested due to knocks from Cameroon match but expected to be fine for Mali," said Morake via his twitter feed.
