Quinton Fortune is willing to turn his back on South Africa
and miss the African Nations Cup in Tunisia, played between
January 24 and February 14. Speaking to MUTV he said:

“The manager needs me here and I want to stay. It is a
difficult situation because it falls at a very important
stage of the season. We will have to see what happens when
it arrives because I have gone the last couple of times and
it doesn't do me any good. The manager needs me here and I
want to stay. It is awkward for all the African players and
hopefully one day there will be a solution to the problem.
Maybe they could play it at a different time of the year.

“I don't have a problem with South Africa. They know where I
am if they need me but no-one has been in touch since the
summer and at the moment, I don't even know who the coach
is.”
