Bafana coach Hugo Broos has since explained why he didn’t select Letsoalo for the final squad. As reported by KickOff, Broos explained that Letsoalo wasn’t at his best currently, with the Bafana coach adding that he knows what the player is capable of.

"He is not playing at the moment in his team so that means he is not in his best shape. I saw the last games, he is not Victor Letsoalo, the one before Christmas,” Broos explained.

The Bafana coach added that with the upcoming games being friendlies, he wanted to experiment with the squad as well and give new faces a chance to see what they can do.

Fans have since had their say on social media, debating on whether it was the right choice to drop Letsoalo.

"Victor Letsoalo was robbed of his place for Makgopa"

@JerryMapatu:

"I disagree with his selection, Mvala didn't have match games time with Sundowns how come he made it to the national squad? Ethan Brooks also, his form has dropped, the 2 local top goalscorers are not in the squad Victor Letsoalo of Royal AM (11) & Ndlolo (7) of Gallants are not in"
