None of the passangers of the bus or the driver were harmed, but after fulfilling their training duties, it was requested by the club to postpone the encounter.
Tim Sukazi explained on Sports Night Amplified: “The players are fine physically but psychologically they are traumatised by almost being involved in a head on collision and seeing the driver who was in the other car pass on.
“We are supposed to be playing Sundowns tomorrow, given what has happened today, a postponement would be ideal, but we will be advised by the League.”
