Lyle Foster

Burnley are keen on Bafana Bafana striker Lyle Foster, but it appears that Hugo Broos doesn't feel the same way. What's the deal?

Lyle Foster knows how to put the ball in the back of the net, and he’s made a habit of showing off that invaluable skill this season. The second tier of English football is hard slog and the Clarets must still negotiate 19 more matches in the regular season, but the signs are good. However, he’s only collected nine Bafana caps since his debut in 2018. The Clarets were relegated from England’s top-flight last season but they’ve shown all of the fighting qualities required in order to bounce back at the first time of asking. However, his failure to consistently include Lyle Foster in national team squads is a dereliction of his duties. Football management can be a pretty deep and analytical thing, but at the same time, it’s not rocket science.
