On Monday, South African football side Bafana Bafana have been dealt yet another blow to their squad ahead of their international friendly against Eswatini this Friday. Orlando Pirates star Monnapule Saleng has withdrawn from the squad due to the injury he sustained in the MTN8 final last weekend.
The withdrawal of Saleng has forced coach Hugo Broos to call up reinvigorated Khanyisa Mayo, who has rediscovered his scoring touch for Cape Town City this season. Mayo, the joint DStv Premiership goal scorer last season, experienced a slump in form at the start of the 2023/24 campaign. However, he has now scored three goals in his last four matches for the Citizens in the league and will be hoping to replicate that form for the national team.
The international friendly between Bafana Bafana and Eswatini takes place at FNB Stadium this Friday, kick off at 18:00.
