PSL transfer news: Maema, Lepasa, Basadien, Mofokeng

The Premier Soccer League (PSL) kicks off next weekend, but the transfer market has been busy since it opened on 1 July. Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates have signed 17 players between them in the past few weeks. Mamelodi Sundowns, on the other hand, have not announced any official signings but have parted ways with six players. Another player set to leave the Brazilians is Neo Maema. The 29-year-old is reportedly in talks with Simba SC as he looks for a move away from Chloorkop. The Bafana Bafana midfielder has struggled for regular first-team football in recent times and it seems he will finally leave to get gametime elsewhere The Sundowns midfielder was called up by Molefi Ntseki to the Bafana Bafana squad, which will participate in the African Nations Championship (CHAN) kicking off next month. Oswin Appollis appears to be the biggest signing so far, but if Sundowns manage to sign Fawaaz Basadien. According to reports, Masandawana are close to finalising the signing of Basadien from Stellenbosch FC. The Bafana Bafana left-back did not train with Stellies on Thursday. Ntseki's Bafana squad has players who are currently clubless. Zakhele Lepasa is one of the players who will look to impress, having played under Hugo Broos' Bafana team two years ago before injuries halted his career. The 28-year-old striker recently parted ways with Orlando Pirates after seven years. He played over 60 matches, scoring 15 times. He is expected to lead Bafana's attack in the CHAN tournament. One PSL player who can shake things up this transfer window is Relebohile Mofokeng. The 20-year-old has been tipped to leave Pirates but no official offer was made by European clubs.

Ngwenya sees Sithole-like recovery for injured Banyana star

'If the foot was not on the ground, perhaps the break could have been avoided,' Ngwenya said. SAFA Chief Medical Officer and CAF Medical Committee Vice-President, Dr Thulani Ngwenya, remains optimistic about Gabriela Salgado's chances of making a full recovery following the serious leg injury she sustained at the Women's Africa Cup of Nations. Salgado's Banyana injury Salgado suffered a broken leg during Banyana Banyana's semi-final defeat to Nigeria on Tuesday evening. The 27-year-old has since undergone successful surgery in Morocco. Dr Ngwenya likened the nature of her injury to that of Bafana Bafana midfielder Sphephelo Sithole, who was sidelined last September with a career-threatening injury. ALSO READ: Pirates confirm Lepasa exit Sithole also suffered a leg break during South Africa's 3-2 win over South Sudan in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. He has since recovered and is ready to return to competitive football ahead of the new season in Portugal. 'It is a complete leg break. When she went up, her foot was firmly in the ground and because of that, there was a heavy force from the Nigerian athlete on her. If the foot was not on the ground, perhaps the break could have been avoided,' Ngwenya said on Radio 2000. 'This is also most common for female athletes because of the bone density. The bone density is very low for female athletes because of their cycle and that's why we always advocate for good nutrition to strengthen the bone and ligaments. 'Remember that we have also seen it with Sphephelo during an AFCON qualifier, he suffered the same injury and had to be transported back to South Africa to be operated on and he's back in action. With Gabby I'm confident that she will recover. 'Similar to Yaya' 'When they come back (to South Africa) on Monday, we'll start with the rehabilitation process and within six months, Gabby will be back playing again. Yes, she will be out for four to six months. I can almost guarantee you and the entire nation that she will come back because she's only 27. It was almost similar to Yaya Sithole and they are almost the same age. ALSO READ: OPINION: Bloemfontein Celtic identity crisis: revival or rivalry? 'Yaya is playing again now and ready to be selected. We almost had a similar injury with Refiloe Jane and she's back playing even though it was ligaments. We had an incident with Thembi Kgatlana and she's playing so I will trust the medical expertise that are there in South Africa who will make sure that Gabby is back.'
