South Africa’s Themba Zwane will miss the remainder of the World Cup group stage after FIFA extended his suspension to three matches. The ban stems from a red card received during South Africa’s opening match against Mexico last Thursday. Initially facing a one-match suspension, the disciplinary committee increased the penalty. This effectively rules Zwane out of crucial upcoming games. The decision impacts South Africa’s midfield options as they attempt to advance from their group. FIFA confirmed the extended ban on Wednesday, providing no further details regarding the reason for the increase in matches.
