Broos reveals why FCSB defender Ngezana couldn't join Bafana for friendlies - 'Ex-Kaizer Chiefs player is stuck in Romania'

Ngezana has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/siyabonga-ngezana-former-kaizer-chiefs-defender-continues-to-dazzle-in-romania-with-fcsb/blt5b8e698c15f1a53d" target="_blank">established himself as a key player for FCSB</a> in the ongoing 2023/24 season after initial struggles.His exploits have helped his team command the top position on the table and a chance to play in next season's Champions League.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Initially, Ngezana had been included in the provisional squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations but didn't make the final squad.Broos gave the former Chiefs player a chance to prove his worth in this international break with international friendly matches against Andorra and Algeria respectively.The 26-year-old, however, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/bafana-bafana-dealt-double-blow-ex-kaizer-chiefs-star-siyabonga-ngezana-and-portugal-based-midfielder-sphephelo-sithole-withdraw-from-squad/blt259ce16bcee3ed5a#cs2a79b31272ca71fc" target="_blank">pulled out of the assignments</a> and Broos has given out the reason for the decision.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

"Siyabonga Ngezana had a very good season, and we discussed whether he should go to Afcon," Broos said in a presser."We decided not to because it would have been his first time with the team and that makes it hard to get him up to speed. "Now we call him and he has lost his documents to travel, so he is stuck in Romania! It is not because of us that he is not here, it is because of him."

WHAT BROOS SAID

SuperSport United defender Siyanda Xulu has replaced Ngezana for the upcoming international friendly games.Ngezana will now have to sort his mess out and hope his club form will earn him Broos' forgiveness so he is considered for the 2026 Fifa World Cup qualifiers in June against Nigeria and Zimbabwe respectively.
