Bafana Bafana hit by late withdrawals of three stars for Guinea clash

South Africa are set to play the first of two March international friendlies on Friday when they take on West African nation Guinea in Belgium.

Ahead of the encounter, national team coach Hugo Broos has been dealt something of a headache after three players from his 23-man squad were ruled out of contention.

"Bongukuhle Hlongwane and Fagrie Lakay are still missing," Broos confirmed on Thursday. "They had some problems with visas, so they will be here tomorrow [Friday] morning.

"My plans were already before the two games that those two guys will be playing next Tuesday against France, so I didn't count on them for the game tomorrow [Friday].

The Belgian tactician also revealed that he would be without the services of midfielder Goodman Mosele for the first match after he picked up an ankle knock with club side Orlando Pirates.

"Mosele came with an injury from the game with Orlando Pirates on Sunday but it's no problem and he'll be back in training on Saturday," Broos added.

"We don't want to take a risk with him and let him play the game for tomorrow. He still has pain in his ankle, but on Saturday he'll be ready, and then next Tuesday, he will be ready no problem."
