Bafana Bafana captain Ronwen Williams says win against Nigeria is important
South Africa captain Ronwen Williams has stressed the importance of taking all three points when Bafana Bafana face Nigeria in their crucial World Cup qualifier on Tuesday night at the Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein.
Coach Hugo Broos and his men currently lead Group C with 16 points from seven games, while Nigeria sit in third place with just seven points from the same number of matches. A win for South Africa could seal their qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, depending on results elsewhere in the group.
Williams, who also plays his club football with Mamelodi Sundowns, made it clear that the team’s focus is firmly on Nigeria rather than other fixtures. “The most important thing is to get the job done. We don’t want to rely on favours or other results, we want to take control and do it our way,” the goalkeeper told Safa.net.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
