Kickoff (Cape Town)
3 December 2008
Bloemfontein Celtic striker Geofrey Sserunkuma has had his red-card rescinded and will be available for selection this weekend in the game against Bay United.
This has been disclosed on the Phunya Sele Sele website.
"We welcome the news following correspondence from the Safa referee's review committee and Geofrey will be available for Bay United," says team manager Khumbulani Konco.
"We feel that the right decision was reached. However, we feel disappointed that up until today we have not yet received a letter of apology from the referee."
Sserunkuma was red-carded during Celtic's Telkom Cup semi-final loss to Orlando Pirates and although official statement has yet been released by Safa, it appears that that Sserunkuma's sending off came about through a case.
The Ugandan striker is Celtic's top scorer in the league with four goals and he could well link up with Celtic's new signing Shaun Bartlett, making a potentially explosive striking pair up front.
In other news, Petros Mahlatsi could be out for the remainder of the year with and ankle injury Cyrille Mubiala is out of the weekend match after picking up his third yellow card, paving the way to possibility of Timothy Batabaire making a return.
