(Reuters) - South Africa omitting Burnley's Lyle Foster from their squad for the Africa Cup of Nations was a 'sensible' decision as the striker is not ready to travel yet due to mental health issues, the club's manager Vincent Kompany said on Friday.
Foster was initially included in South Africa's preliminary squad for the tournament despite Burnley informing them that he would be unable to travel.
