Hugo Broos Unhappy with PSL Clubs Over Player Injuries! The national team head coach expressed his unhappiness over communication issues. 

A few players have had to drop out of the latest Bafana Bafana camp. Head coach Hugo Broos has said he is “not amused” that a few players got these injuries. 

The national team take on Eswatini and Ivory Coast in their two friendlies in the current FIFA window. About a handful of players have had to be pulled out of camp.

“Unfortunately, this camp is disturbed again by injuries like last month,” Broos told members of the media earlier in the week. 

“We have Aubaas, Morena, Maseko. Maseko is something different, it’s the second time we have that surprise that he’s injured and suddenly he plays,.

“It was last month with Mudau, this month, Maseko. I think we need better communication between the national team and clubs so we really know how much the players are injured and if he’s not ready to come with to national team.

“Then there’s the case of Percy Tau; we had contact last week, [and] for family reasons he [excused himself], and I understood it but on the other side, I’m really not amused that he played yesterday with Al Ahly.

“So I think clubs need to understand, that in very important periods they want their players but it’s the same case for me, for us as a national team. We’re in a very important period. 

“We’re preparing for qualifiers next month and AFCON in January.

“So I hope a little bit more collaboration from [clubs] would be welcome. It means our goal is not achieved, that we have nearly the same squad that won against Morocco and building on that selection to have a very good team going into qualifiers and AFCON.” He added.
