Togo goalkeeper Kodjovi Obilale is recovering at a South African hospital from injuries sustained when the soccer team's bus was attacked in Angola, a medical official said on a local radio Sunday.
"He is conscious and in a stable condition. He is fully receptive he understands where he is. We will still be taking him to theatre, he has obviously suffered some internal injuries," Doctor Richard Friedland, who is treating the player at Milpark hospital in Johannesburg, told Talk Radio 702.
Two members of the Togolese national soccer delegation died after Friday's gun attack on the bus as it travelled to the African Nations Cup in Angola.
The attack, which also killed the bus driver, came five months before South Africa hosts the World Cup, the first African nation to hold the world's biggest single-sport event.
