Coach worried about John Pantsil's work permit

Maritzburg United head coach Mandla Ncikazi remains hopeful of securing the work permit for Ghana defender John Pantsil soon.

The Team of Choice are second-bottom on the league table after three matches in the Absa Premiership with two defeats and a draw.

Pantsil’s absence alongside Brian Onyango and Evans Rusike have been sorely missed by Ncikazi.

The former Fulham player was a key man for Maritzburg as he featured in 27 matches for the PSL side.
