Mokwena to Broos: Mamelodi Sundown’s Lakay deserves Bafana Bafana call

The Cape Town-born defender has been very impressive for the Brazilians as he has featured in all the four matches in the top-flight

Mamelodi Sundowns co-head coach Rulani Mokwena has questioned the continued absence of defender Lyle Lakay from the Bafana Bafana squad taking part in the 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifying matches.

Bafana Bafana, who are in Group G of the qualifiers, have already played two matches this campaign, drawing 0-0 against Zimbabwe on September 3 before gunning down Ghana’s Black Stars 1-0 at home on September 6.

Despite their good start in the race to Qatar, it is the absence of Lakay, who has managed to play and star in all of the Brazilians' opening four league games in the Premier Soccer League, which has left Mokwena a disappointed man.
