Bafana Bafana coach Broos overlooks big stars, calls up three new faces for Uganda friendly

Most players considered have already been part of the national team set-up but some notable names have been snubbed

Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has given assurances he has “not forgotten” senior players as he selected a younger squad for the June 10 international friendly match against Uganda at Orlando Stadium.

Big names like captain Thulani Hlatshwayo, Themba Zwane, goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune, Andile Jali, Sifiso Hlanti, Ben Motshwari and Ruzaigh Gamildien have all been dropped.

Broos' squad features familiar faces, most of whom have been called up before by previous Bafana coaches as the Belgian starts preparing his team for the 2022 Fifa World Cup qualification campaign.
