Five notable omissions from Hugo Broos' 23-man Bafana Bafana ... (Independent Online)

IOL Sport's Mihlali Baleka looks at five players who can count themselves unlucky to be omitted from the latest 23-man Bafana Bafana squad.

Timm, though, will be eager to continue doing well for the club and propel them to the top two finish and the Nedbank Cup crown, hoping that will convince Broos to pick him in the future. While Pirates continued to blow hot and cold in the league, Timm continued with his good form for the club, keeping things tidy in the midfield.

Mixed reaction to Bafana Bafana squad announced for upcoming ... (Eyewitness News)

Bafana Bafana coach, Hugo Broos announced his 23-man squad for the AFCON qualifiers against Liberia next week.

If you look at the facts and the stats, then Mudau should be in the team. This is the core team of Broos and this is the team that he wants to build towards the Afcon tournament. Neo Maema is maybe the only one that I would have included.

Mailula not yet ready for Europe, says Bafana coach (SowetanLIVE)

Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has suggested Mamelodi Sundowns forward Cassius Mailula remain another season in SA before thinking about moving to Europe.

“I would advise him to stay one more year at Sundowns and play in the CAF Champions League because it will be good for his development. It’s his first season, he’s doing well in the Champions League, and he scores also. Mailula is doing very well, it’s his first season, last season he played a few games but now he [has made a] breakthrough,” Broos told the media.

Mamelodi Sundowns star Cassius Mailula and Al Ahly forward Percy Tau have been included in the Bafana Bafana squad to face Liberia in 2023 Afcon qualifiers.

The top two teams from the group will qualify for the finals which are scheduled to be hosted by Ivory Coast next year. Morocco are currently placed at the top of the Group K standings - six points clear of the Lone Stars and Bafana who are yet to record a point in the group. Tau is back in the national team after producing eye-catching displays for Al Ahly and Broos will look to the accomplished attacker to inspire South Africa to two wins over Liberia.

Bafana Bafana squad : Top FIVE snubs by Hugo Broos! (The South African)

Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has announced his first national team squad on Thursday, ahead of the back to back 2024 AFCON Qualifiers against Liberia.

However, the emergence of a younger overseas option in former Chiefs midfielder Blom seems to have been too big of a temptation for Broos to ignore. Kodisang has netted 10 goals from the wing, also notching up 10 Man of the Match awards in the process. Lakay, who remains the youngest ever Bafana Bafana debutant, has found himself omitted from the latest national team squad. However, it was always going to be touch and go between him and Goss and perhaps over the course of the season, the SuperSport United keeper has had the more consistent game time, which might of tipped the scales in his favour. The Orlando Pirates midfielder was one of the better new faces in the previous round of international matches for Bafana Bafana. Broos’ men succumbed to a narrow 2-1 loss to Morocco in their first game of the campaign, away from home.

The midfielder has never been selected by Broos since he took over in 2021 despite showing great form for his club in the last two seasons.
