Bafana coach Hugo Broos is willing to give Burnley star Lyle Foster another chance with the national team as Fifa World Cup qualifiers loom

Bafana went to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations with Evidence Makgopa and Zakhele Lepasa as the only two recognised strikers, and Makgopa only found the back of the net once in open play.Percy Tau's poor form also did not help Broos' course and now he has opened up about the possibility of circling back to Foster, who has more venom than Lepasa and Makgopa.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Foster was left out of the Afcon squad after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/safa-investigations-revealed-lyle-foster-s-bafana-bafana-future-hanging-in-the-balance-as-striker-is-sidelined-at-burnley/blta27505239a5bb6cd" target="_blank">he declared his mental issues challenges</a>, but at the same time, he was available to play for his struggling English Premier League outfit Burnley.<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/better-than-percy-tau-lyle-foster-should-be-excluded-from-bafana-bafana-squad-when-we-qualify-for-fifa-world-cup-fans/bltdd516541b2495845" target="_blank">This caused an uproar towards him</a>, as suggestions pointed to him not being keen to play in the Afcon. He picked up an injury during that period and has now made his return.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

"Foster played 10 minutes for Burnley this past Saturday, which means his injury problems are over. I will try to have contact with Vincent Kompany next week," <a href="https://supersport.com/football/fifa-internationals/news/3ee6eb3b-feee-442e-94df-4be0e7bfcc82/broos-expects-full-sundowns-contingent-in-algeria" target="_blank">Broos told SuperSport</a>."Maybe when I am in Europe I can go and see a game, talk to Kompany and Foster, and see what we can expect from him. This is for the World Cup qualifier games in June" he added.

WHAT WAS SAID

Bafana are in Algeria where they are set to play Andorra and the Desert Foxes in the Fifa Series pilot project.After that meet and greet, South Africa will move on to more serious affairs in the form of the 2026 Fifa World Cup qualifiers where they will renew their rivalry against the Super Eagles of Nigeria in June.
