The South African camp got a big boost ahead of the world and nations cup qualifier against Nigeria with the arrival of England based forward, Benni Mcarthy.
The Black Burn Rovers striker arrived the Bafana Bafana camp at Port Elizabeth Tuesday night and had his first training with the team on Wednesday at the Nelson Mandela university training ground.
The Ex - Celta Vigo forward had been doubtful for the game after suffering a groin injury but he has ruled himself in for the game.
"I will let my boots do the talking, I have recovered from the groin injury and Nigeria must not think they can come here and go home with a smile", he declared battle ready.
"I am a little match rusty as I only came on as a substitute in our two games in the premiership but we will fight the Nigerians all the way. I know Nigeria as a class side but we are at home and must win at all costs".
He also dismissed claims that he is overweight and unfit.
"I do not take notice of talk about me being overweight and unfit, come and watch me on Saturday, if the coach selects me", he concluded.
Reports Opatola Adewole, Jo'burg South Africa.
