As things stand, Chiefs a single player in the latest Bafana Bafana squad, and it’s Pule Mmodi who came in as a replacement for Themba Zwane.

However, while Hugo Broos initially said no Chiefs player deserved to be in his squad at the moment, Modise believes Ashley du Preez should have been there.

Modise’s argument is that Bafana Bafana don’t have a player that would run past opposition defenders if both Percy Tau and Zakhele Lepasa are tired.

And it is for that reason he feels Du Preez would have been of great help in that regard for Bafana Bafana in the two friendlies.

“We have [Ashley] du Preez who has not been selected for the national team,” Modise told reporters in Durban as per PrimeSportsWithMahlatse.

“If we do select based on form, he’s not scoring but he is on form, because I analyse games, and I do them week in and week out.

“If Percy and Lepasa are tired, do we have the players who can run behind the opposition defenders and cause problems? We don’t. I think Du Preez could be the answer for that.”
