Itumeleng Khune joins Cristiano Ronaldo, Robert Lewandowski in EA Sports FIFA 17 TOTW

Khune earned international recognition following his heroics in South Africa's 1-1 2018 World Cup qualifying draw against Burkina Faso last Saturday.

The FUT Team of the Week (TOTW) is a weekly team of 23 in-form player cards. These players will be boosted with a stat upgrade by EA Sports, based on how well they have performed over the last week in real-life football fixtures.

The 29-year-old shotstopper pulled off a number of brilliant saves to keep Bafana in the game away to The Stallions, before helping them earn a point in his 80th appearance for the senior men's national team.

As a result, 'Itu' makes the cut as one of only three Africans, alongside Tunisia defender Aymen Abdennour and Egypt winger Mohamed Salah, in Week Four's 23-man squad.
