Rantie out for four to six weeks Posted: 27 November 2014 Bafana Bafana striker Tokelo Rantie is expected to be out for six weeks with a dislocated shoulder and faces a race against time to be fit for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations. Rantie sustained the injury last Saturday while playing for club side Bournemouth in a match against Ipswich Town in the English Championship. According to a report by bournemouthecho.co.uk, Rantie “could be sidelined over the festive period after damaging his shoulder … his rehabilitation programme could extend through to Christmas and maybe even into the start of next year”. The 24-year-old’s injury casts doubt over his chances of featuring for South Africa in the Africa Cup of Nations between January 17 and February 8. Rantie recently scored a brace to help South Africa earn a 2-2 draw against Nigeria in the final round of the 2015 Afcon qualifiers.
