Ex-Mamelodi Sundowns & Orlando Pirates star Thembinkosi Lorch continues his fine form at Al-Ittihad! But will Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos swallow his pride and call him?

The versatile South African attacker has continued to deliver in North Africa. 'Nyoso', as he is commonly referred to, ditched Wydad Athletic Club for the Libyan outfit to help sharpen their attacking department. He has taken little time to settle into his new team, hoping to help them chase and achieve their targets for the season.

    Will Broos consider him?

    Bafana Bafana are preparing for the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be hosted jointly by the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

    However, before then, an international friendly game is coming against Panama at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.

    It is to be seen if Hugo Broos will succumb to pressure and finally give Lorch a chance to prove his worth for Bafana Bafana, who struggled to make an impact in the 2025 AFCON.
