BROOS TO RING CHANGES AGAINST CONGO
With the likes of skipper Ronwen Williams and Percy Tau having been sidelined in the clash against Namibia’s Brave Warriors, Broos will likely make changes in his line-up.
Besides Al Ahly’s Tau, Orlando Pirates striker Zakhele Lepasa is one of the players who could be back in the starting eleven.
“It will be a little bit of a different team. I expect more of that team. I want to see the Bafana team from what I saw in the past against Morocco and against Liberia here,” he said.
“I want to see that team; we are playing for a victory, that’s for sure.”
