Boseja's club, Mamelodi Sundowns announced the player's return from injury on their Facebook page. The goalkeeper has been out with a knee injury for over a year. “Guess who’s back to lift more trophies. In football, every comeback is always greater than a setback,” Mamelodi Sundowns posted. Boseja joined Sundowns a year ago but she is yet to make her debut for the team. During her time on the sidelines, she has won the Hollywoodbets Super League and CAF Women’s Champions League medals.
Her return is a boost for the Mares who are preparing for the AWCON finals in Morocco. Boseja has been the team’s first-choice goalkeeper since making her debut as a teenager.
She, however, missed the previous edition of the COSAFA Championship and the two rounds of the AWCON qualifiers. Boseja has been left out of the Mares’ initial training camps. Meanwhile, the Mares left for Zambia to play in two friendly games against the northern neighbours. The team will take on Shepolopolo today in the first friendly match in preparations for the AWCON finals.
The two teams will meet again on Monday before the Mares head back home on Tuesday. Head coach, Gaolethoo ‘Ronaldo’ Nkutlwisang has named an all-local squad except for Mokgabo Thanda who plies her trade in Zambia with Yasa FC.
