The 2019 Afcon title-winning coach made it clear that he cannot call up players who are not playing for their clubs
South Africa head coach Hugo Broos has urged Percy Tau to leave Brighton and Hove Albion in the current transfer window.
The 69-year-old tactician included Tau in his 31-man preliminary Bafana Bafana squad for the upcoming 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers on Thursday.
Tau will be hoping to make the final squad for Bafana's two matches against Zimbabwe and Ghana which will be played early next month.
