Lack of game-time may scupper Bafana Broos

Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos (below) says he is concerned by the lack of time on the pitch some of his team may have had by the time they play their two 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against South Sudan and Uganda next month.

The delay to the start of the Betway Premiership season, which only kicks off after the international break, means that most teams have played far fewer fixtures than they would have normally at this point in the campaign.

Some, like Kaizer Chiefs, Ihave not even played a single match, while Broos is also concerned about Mamelodi Sundowns, who will have played three games in the MTN8, but nothing else.
