Hugo Broos Explains Mduduzi Mdantsane Call-Up!

Hugo Broos Explains Mduduzi Mdantsane Call-Up! The Amakhosi midfielder has joined up with the national team.

Mduduzi Mdantsane received a late call up to the Bafana Bafana squad. Head coach Hugo Broos has justified why he is with the squad. 

The late call up is because star player Percy Tau has had to retract himself from the national team, for reasons undisclosed. Mdantsane is the replacement.

Broos also went on to explain that Themba Zwane cannot be expected to play twice a week, every week, at his age [35 years old]. 

“I think last time I said when we talked about the replacement of Themba Zwane (who was left blooded in the face in the last camp and pulled out), we knew that Themba is at a certain age,” Broos lamented.

“We have to look for the future.

“But we have someone behind him, certainly also for the AFCON. At his age I don’t think every game every three days he can play for the hundred percent of Themba.

“So you need someone there, you need solutions. [Mdu] was on our list, so now because Percy Tau (is out), we had two choices – to take another winger or we took the opportunity to have someone maybe in the future who can be a replacement for Themba.

“And that is why he (Mdu) is there. Okay I said what I said, but stop now with that.

“I just choose players not because they are at Sundowns, not because they are at Chiefs or Orlando Pirates, I don’t choose them because they are in those teams. I just choose because I need them and they are the best at that moment in that position, that’s all.” He added.
