Broos watched as his charges played to a disappointing goalless draw against southern African neighbours Namibia on Saturday in a much-changed line-up.

The Belgian mentor said players in the squad who did not get a run against the Brave Warriors will be on the field on Tuesday at the Orlando Stadium.

Percy Tau, Zakhele Lepasa, Mothobi Mvala, Mihlali Mayambela and captain Ronwen Williams all didn’t start against Namibia and look set to get in some minutes.

Broos said after the game on Saturday: “DR Congo is another style, a totally other style. Again we didn’t look at it because it’s a friendly game.

“If it’s a qualifier, you look more at which style they play, which is the better plays to play against them.

“We didn’t do that now but for sure on Tuesday, those who were not on the pitch today [Saturday against Namibia], they will be here on the pitch, that’s for sure.”

Broos will continue use the encounter to prepare for the World Cup qualifiers that start later this year and the 2024 African Cup of Nations (AFCON).
