Bafana played to a goalless draw with Guinea in the first of their two international friendlies in Belgium on Friday.

Broos made six changes at half-time of the match with Guinea and promises he will also give the remaining players of the 23-man squad who have not yet had a run gametime against France except for one of the goalkeepers – Ronwen Williams or Bruce Bvuma – with Brandon Peterson taking the gloves against Guinea.

The Belgian mentor has suggested that there will be two changes to the starting XI and that the two alterations will be wing-backs Nyiko Mobbie and Lyle Lakay coming into the eleven.

“There will be a different team, not all eleven players will change, but there will be a different team,” Broos said, according to Soccer Laduma.

“I said before this camp that I will give every player minutes, so we started already against Guinea. We will do the same thing against France, maybe a little bit less because the opponent is much better also.

“There will be new players again, like Mobbie was not there, Lyle Lakay was not there…so they will play against France, that is for sure. I want to also give them a chance to show their qualities.”
