• Kaizer Chiefs have had one of their players being called up by his country's national team coach for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers
• The Glamour Boys are not ably represented in this international break as the club's poor performance has affected their player's chances of being called up by their country's national team
• The Soweto giants had no player present in Bafana Bafana's final 23-man squad released by Hugo Broos a few days ago, and only one player is expected to leave Naturena during the break
