"Our squad is mainly going to consist of locally based players for these friendly matches," Igesund says.
"Only two [overseas-based players], namely Tokelo Rantie and May Mahlangu, whose seasons with their respective teams has ended, will be called.
"We have about 30 odd players and cutting it down to 23 will be my main task. Only one or two faces will be called in for the warm-up games.
"Thulani Serero, Benni McCarthy, Katlego Mphela and Daylon Claasen are some of the players who are back in training, however this does not mean automatic call-ups.
"If they can show about 70 to 80 percent match fitness then I will have a decision to make," the coach concludes.

Bafana NEEDS Benni desperately . . . . . .
He's not even playing mind games like all good coaches do,instead he gives everything away in the statements he makes in the media and in turn makes a fool of himself.
This guy is the return of George Bush II and the media is lapping it all up
