for the moment i dont change why broos still overlooks pirates mabasa for bafana

Hugo Broos is happy with the centre-forwards has been calling to his Bafana Bafana squad so still has no room for Orlando Pirates striker Tshegofatso Mabasa, the coach said.

Broos added, for the moment, I don't change, when asked why he has continued to leave out Mabasa despite his scoring form and being a striker who could offer the national team a lot in terms of the physical presence upfront.

Bafana meet Uganda in their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at Orlando Stadium on Friday (6pm) then South Sudan in Juba on Tuesday.

Mabasa who scored 19 goals in 33 league and cup games for Pirates in 2023-24, 10 of those in just 13 games in the Premiership has one goal in five appearances for Bucs this season. One of those came in their 2-0 MTN8 semifinal second leg win at Orlando Stadium on Saturday.

The big striker's battering ram style and poacher's instinct for getting into good positions seems suited to international football.
