South Africa were boosted by the news that playmaker Steven Pienaar will be available in next week's Confederations Cup opener with Iraq.

The Everton ace was struggling with an ankle injury of late, but the South African FA confirmed that an MRI scan proved a mild sprain.

Pienaar, who is one of the star players of Joel Santana's side, sustained the injury during the 1-0 friendly win over Poland at the weekend.

In the same manner, Bafana Bafana will have duo Teko Modise and Tsepo Masilela fit again after they both missed the Poland game due to injury.
