Bafana Bafana defender Erick Mathoho has been withdrawn from the squad to face Burkina Faso in the Fifa World Cup qualifier on Saturday.

The Kaizer Chiefs defender will serve a two-game suspension after he received a red card during their 2-1 defeat against Cape Verde last month.

However, Mamelodi Sundowns defender Motjeka Madisha has been called up to the national team to replace Mathoho.

Burkina currently lead Group D, level on six point with second place Cape Verde, Senegal are third with five points, while South Africa are placed at the bottom of the table with one point.

Bafana Bafana are set to host Burkina Faso at the FNB Stadium on Saturday, with kick-off scheduled for 15:00.
