Cape Town - The Premier Soccer League (PSL) prosecutor confirmed on Friday that it has written to a host of Absa Premiership head coaches to explain comments attributed to them in the media on match officials.

"The PSL Prosecutor has written to Cape Town City coach, Benni McCarthy, Lamontville Golden Arrows coach, Steve Komphela and Highlands Park coach Owen Da Gama to explain comments attributed to them in the media on match officials, a statement said.
