'I can take that risk' - Bafana Bafana coach Broos defends selecting inactive Kaizer Chiefs players

The Belgian is about to face his first real test at South Africa coach in the upcoming 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers

Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos says “quality” is what he considers most as he justified picking players who are struggling for game time at their clubs.

The former Cameroon coach trimmed his squad to 23 players to do duty in September’s 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers against Zimbabwe and Ghana.

But in his squad are the Kaizer Chiefs duo of defenders Sibusiso Mabiliso and Austin Dube, who are yet to make their official debuts for the Soweto giants.
