Hugo Broos has no place for a star player

As reported by Briefly News, Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos said there is no place in the squad for Orlando Pirates star Tshegofatso Mabasa.

Despite finishing as the PSL's top goalscorer last season, Broos said the player is too similar to current Bafana strikers Iqraam Rayners and Lyle Foster.
