Gould backs Broos to steady unsettled defence
The Star
|September 04, 2025
FORMER Bafana Bafana defender Morgan Gould has expressed full confidence in national team head coach Hugo Broos to steady South Africa's defence ahead of two crucial World Cup qualifiers.
Bafana face Lesotho on Friday, before hosting Nigeria next Tuesday. The senior men’s team currently sit atop Group C with 13 points, holding a five-point advantage over second-placed Rwanda. Despite this strong position, Broos faces a testing period as defensive options are stretched to the limit.
Injuries and dips in form have forced Broos into multiple changes. Key defenders such as Nkosinathi Sibisi, Khuliso Mudau, Grant Kekana and Siyanda Xulu are all unavailable for the upcoming fixtures.
Their absence opens the door for fresh faces, including Samukelo Kabini, Mbekezeli Mbokazi, Khulumani Ndamane and Zuko Mdunyelwa. These newcomers will link up with the more experienced Sydney Mobbie, Aubrey Modiba and Siyabonga Ngezana, tasked with stabilising the backline during this transitional phase.
