Johannesburg police have confirmed that Bafana Bafana striker Katlego Mphela was arrested early on Monday morning.

He is suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol after a weekend of celebrations.

The star player, nicknamed "Killer", scored the only goal in its win against Egypt on Saturday at Ellis Park.

Mphela is out on bail of a R1 000.

Mphela’s agent Glyn Binkin says at this stage it’s just suspicion of drunken driving.

He will appear in court in August when the results of his blood-alcohol test will be available.
