That lone defeat was a costly one, however, as it saw Bafana Bafana go down 1-0 to Ghana which ended their 2022 Soccer World Cup qualification campaign.

As reported by The South African website, Broos has already recently confirmed there will be new faces in his squad to face both Guinea and France.

The biggest casualty, should that squad prove to be accurate, is of course Al Ahly’s Percy Tau.

However, being a friendly, the Egyptian giants are not obliged to release their star man, unless an agreement can be reached between both parties.
