Mokoena picked up a left shin injury against Equatorial Guinea

South Africa are waiting on the fitness of their captain Aaron Mokoena ahead of this weekend's 2010 World Cup qualifier.

The Blackburn Rovers defender will have to pass a late fitness test on Wednesday if he is to accompany the Bafana Bafana on their trip to Sierra Leone for Saturday's match.

Mokoena suffered a left shin injury last Saturday when South Africa beat Equatorial Guinea 4-1 in their Group Four encounter.

The South Africa captain was taken off for the final 15 minutes of the match and has not trained since.
