Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has revealed why he selected Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Mduduzi Mdantsane to replace Percy Tau in the squad for friendly matches against Ivory Coast and Eswatini.
With Tau withdrawing from the Bafana Bafana squad owing to ‘personal reasons’, Broos had to act fast to find a suitable replacement for the ‘Lion of Judah’. The Belgian coach didn’t have to look far however, as he selected Mdantsane, who joined Chiefs from Cape Town City at the start of the season.
Addressing the media ahead of Bafana’s training session on Monday, Broos revealed the thinking behind Mdantsane’s inclusion. “He’s one who was on our list,” he told journalists.
