"Mvala is still part of this team for now. I will not rule him out or think further until I have the full medical details from the Team Doctor," Broos told SAFA.
"He is still a part of the AFCON-bound team. Mvala is the type of player that gives everything, both during a match and in practice."
Dr. Tshepo Molobi opened about Mvala's situation and explained why the defender will be allowed to travel to Cote d'Ivoire.
"As it is in any camp, we will always be faced with something and this is the nature of football when you're dealing with athletes," Moloi told SAFA.
"In the case of Mvala, all medical assessments have been made and while we continue practicing caution with all and any injuries, there is no need to rule him out. He will travel with the team to Côte d'Ivoire and we as a medical team will continuously monitor all injuries and niggles that need our care."
