Coach Hugo Broos confirmed on Monday that the Al Ahly forward picked up an injury and was forced to withdraw.
Broos has decided to call up Royal AM striker Victor Letsoalo for the upcoming friendlies against some real top opposition.
"I said it already, for me these are important games, difficult games, but I asked for difficult games. In the past I am told that it was not usual for South Africa to play tough friendly games," Broos said, as per SAFA.net.
