Three late arrivals to join Bafana camp on Monday

Bafana Bafana trio of Njabulo Blom, Percy Tau, Bongokuhle Hlongwane and Luke Le Roux are expected to join camp later on Monday.

The three players are based overseas and will boost Bafana ahead of their game on Saturday.

Both Blom and Hlongwane play in the Major Soccer League in the USA while Le Roux is based in Sweden.

The two teams have already qualified for next year’s showpiece but the match will test their readiness.

The 2022 World Cup semi-finalists defeated Bafana 2-1 in the first round when they met last year at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium.

Last week, Bafana coach said fans should not expect a miracle against Morocco.

“Don’t for a moment dream that you have as good players as they have. The reality is that they’re a much better side than we are at the moment.

“Don’t ask for miracles and, even if there’s a loss, there should be a good part from that in terms of lessons,” Broos was quoted on News24.

Broos said Saturday’s game should be enough to motivate Bafana Bafana players.

“I shouldn’t be pleased if I have to motivate players to play against Morocco. If that’s the case, then there’s a big problem. If players are not motivated to play against a team like Morocco, then I think it’s better that you go home,” Bafana Bafana coach added.

“This is where you become a professional player. It’s in this kind of game, where you have to perform. This is a big game and if you play well and put in a good performance, it’s also good for you as a player.”
