Speaking to NewsDay, Benyu said the injury is not serious but admitted he is still feeling some pain.

“Right now I am in pain but I and the physios are in agreement that it’s not the most serious injury,” he said.

“We’ll try to recover as quickly as possible and see how I am in the next couple of days to hopefully be ready for the Malawi game and so on.”
