Hugo Broos has recalled Teboho Mokoena to the starting lineup as Bafana Bafana prepare for their historic FIFA World Cup Round of 32 clash against Canada on Sunday evening.
South Africa enter the knockout encounter at SoFi Stadium carrying growing belief after securing qualification for the knockout stages for the first time in the country’s history following victory over South Korea.
Mokoena returns, in place of Thalente Mbatha, after missing the previous match through suspension and immediately restores composure, leadership and distribution quality to the heart of midfield.
Ronwen Williams captains the side in goal behind a back four of Khuliso Mudau, Ime Okon, Mbekezeli Mbokazi and Aubrey Modiba.
