Following that humiliating loss, coach Arthur Zwane gave the jersey to Brandon Peterson for two games before Itumeleng Khune reclaimed the number one spot.

As a result, Bvuma has lost his place in Broos’ team and was snubbed for the South Africa squad that is set to take on Sierra Leone and Botswana in two friendlies later this month.

The Belgian technician says Kaizer Chiefs heavy defeat to Masandawana was not Bvuma’s fault.

BROOS DISSAPOINTED AS BVUMA LOSES NO 1 SPOT TO KHUNE

“I’m so sad about Bvuma [not playing],” Broos said after announcing his squad at SABC Sport.

“I know Itumeleng Khune is a very good goalkeeper and I played against SA with Cameroon with Khune in goal for Bafana.

“He’s a very good goalkeeper but it’s sad that they don’t give more chances to Bruce. Bruce is a young keeper and he’s one for the future and has potential.

“And then suddenly after Chiefs’ 4-0 defeat to Sundowns they put him out of the team.

“It was not his fault they lost 4-0. There were other players that made mistakes and then what do you do as the goalkeeper?

“It was a bit unfair, but it’s OK because the coach decided to use Khune again. You can’t say he [Khune] is playing bad but that’s a pity for Bruce.”
