Despite winning an incredible domestic treble, Mamelodi Sundowns have NO players in the current Bafana squad.

Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates on the other hand have just three players on show.

Both Soweto giants will be keeping a close eye on Helman Mkhalele’s starting lineup to see if Keletso Sifama, Azola Matrose and Boitumelo Radiopane make the cut.

Radiopane was recently loaned out to Cape Town Spurs by the Buccaneers.
