Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos was delighted that the PSL agreed to curtail local matches ahead of the Afcon qualifiers, and equally pleasing was the return of Ronwen Williams.

National boss admits he can only speculate on the reasons for Tau's scarcity from the national squad after this year's Afcon.

Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has explained why he left Percy Tau out of his squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON} qualifiers against Congo-Brazzaville. Having included him in his preliminary squad, Tau was a notable omission when Broos announced his final 23-man squad on Thursday.

After excluding 30-year-old playmaker Percy Tau from the Bafana Bafana squad, coach Hugo Broos explained why the playmaker has been left out in the cold.

Hugo Broos and Bafana would be expecting at least four points against Congo, which would go a long way to ensuring they can dazzle once more at the Africa Cup of Nations at the end of 2025.
