HUGO Broos is set to put his head on the block later this week, and announce the final 23-member squad that will face Zambia in an international friendly next Saturday.

- MIHLALI BALEKA.

Although there are a couple of new faces in the 43-member preliminary squad, Broos is expected to stick with tried and tested players for the friendly as he begins planning for the AFCON finals in Morocco next month.

Not widening the selection pool by choosing mostly familiar players for the clash against Chipolopolo could backfire, especially if his regulars are ruled out of the continental showpiece due to form or injuries in the coming weeks.

However, such is the depth of the squad Broos has assembled in the last few months that it would be a rare occurrence for him to be without his starters and cover players heading into camp on December 8 at the University of Pretoria High Performance Centre.
