Bafana Bafana head coach Joel Natalino Santana has named an all-South Africa-based 23-man squad to face Malawi in a friendly on Tuesday.
The match will be played at the Germiston Stadium starting at 7pm. The squad is made up of players on the fringe of Bafana. Only Shuaib Walters of Bloemfontein Celtic is the newcomer in the goalkeeping department. The defence has a young look about it with perhaps Mbulelo Mabizela of Mamelodi Sundowns and Innocent Mdledle of Orlando Pirates the most experienced. Morgan Gould of Supersport United might also get a look in.
Reneilwe Letsholonyane and his Kaizer Chiefs teammate Gert Schalkwyk have been rewarded for their exciting performances lately. The usual suspects, Teko Modise of Pirates and Kagiso Dikgacoi of Golden Arrows, are also in.
The striking department has a new look. Eleazar Rodgers has been in fine form for Santos and is expected to battle it out with Bernard Parker and Petrus Mahlatsi. After Malawi, Bafana Bafana travel to Equatorial Guinea for the last 2010 African Nations Cup Group Four qualifiers next month. Then they face Ghana three days later.
The squad assembles on Sunday.
The squad:
Goalkeepers: Itumeleng Khune (Kaizer Chiefs), Moeneeb Josephs (Orlando PIrates), Shu-Aib Walters (Bloemfontein Celtic). Defenders: Nazeer Allie,Brett Evans (both Ajax Cape Town), Siboniso Gaxa, Bongani Khumalo, Morgan Gould (all SuperSport United), Mbulelo Mabizela, Robyn Johannes (both Mamelodi Sundowns), Innocent Mdledle (Orlando Pirates)
