South Africa’s national football team, Bafana Bafana, could face a major selection concern ahead of their upcoming international fixture against Kenya, with doubts continuing to surround the availability of midfielder Teboho Mokoena.

With head coach Hugo Broos expected to announce his final squad for the encounter this week, attention has shifted to Mokoena’s fitness and whether he will recover in time to be considered for national team duty.

The midfielder remains an important figure in the Bafana Bafana setup, having established himself as one of the team’s key players through his performances in the middle of the pitch. His ability to control possession, break up opposition attacks and contribute to the team’s attacking movements makes him an influential part of Broos’ plans.

However, the lingering injury concerns have raised questions about whether the technical team will risk including him in the squad if he is not fully fit. His possible absence could force Broos to consider alternative options as South Africa prepare for the meeting with Kenya.

The expected squad announcement has also generated discussions among football supporters about which midfielder could deserve an opportunity if Mokoena is ruled out.

Several midfield options could potentially come into consideration, depending on their current form, fitness and performances at club level. Broos will have to assess the available players and determine who can provide the necessary balance, creativity and defensive stability in the middle of the park.

Mokoena’s situation is therefore one to watch as the squad announcement approaches, with supporters waiting for clarity on his condition.
