Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has called up AmaZulu defender Tercious Malepe as a replacement for injured Sifiso Hlanti ahead of the World Cup qualifier against Zimbabwe in Thursday.
According to reports Kaizer Chiefs defender Hlanti injured his Achilles tendon during a training session last week that could see him miss the rest of the season.
In a interview with media Broos said it was up to Malepe if he would honour his late Bafana call-up to face Zimbabwe.
“Also as with Mvala, they’re two players who I could need for a game such as against Ghana for example,” Broos said.
“So no they are not there, but there will be others and it’s up to them if they get their chances to take them.”
