Cupido Out, But 'captain Fantastic' Stephens Returns For Stellenbosch Fc In Simba Caf Confederation Cup Semi-final

Stellenbosch FCs 1-0 victory over AmaZulu on Tuesday evening came at a major cost, with striker Ashley Cupido expected to be out for a minimum of six weeks and miss this weeks trip to Zanzibar for the all-important CAF Confederation Cup semi-final against Simba FC.

Cupido hobbled after just 10 minutes when his hamstring went pop, and was replaced by South Africa Under-20 forward Langelihle Phili.

Stellies coach Steve Barker conceded that Cupido, who worked tirelessly leading the frontline in the quarter=final against Zamalek in Cairo last week, would not be on the flight to the East African island.

Yeah, it looks like its a bad hamstring, so unlikely that hell Cupido be available, Barker said.

Well assess on Wednesday. But he says he felt it pop.
