Dove admits shortage of Mozambican players in South Africa is a bit sad

Dove and Royal AM's Elias Pelembe are the only two Mozambicans currently plying their trade in the South African top-flight.

The Amakhosi players admits he discusses the situation often with his compatriot.

The 28-year-old frontman said in the Sowetan: "The lack of Mozambican players in the PSL is something we speak about often with Pelembe. We feel like we've got a lot of talented players in Mozambique but not all get the opportunities [to be exported to SA].

"It's a pity because some end up getting lost in the system or lose hope. It's a bit sad that it's only me and Pelembe here [in the DStv Premiership]. [Manuel] Kambala doesn't have a club now [after leaving Baroka when they were relegated last season]."

Mozambique play a friendly match against South Africa at the Mbombela Stadium on Thursday and Dove, who is not part of his national squad, is expecting a big win.

"We have a strong team with a lot of players playing overseas, so I am hoping it will be a good game of football. I hope Mozambique wins, of course," Dove added.
