The Belgian tactician disclosed that he has been monitoring the pair for some time, saying they have been consistent.

However, neither of the impressive stars was named in the senior national team for the forthcoming matches, which Broos says is about them showing consistency over the next few months.

Broos said, as per iDiski Times:

“Those who are there, are there, there’s still [some] more on the list [we monitoring], we will look at them, Mofokeng [and Campbell].
“Mofokeng of Pirates is a very interesting player.
A very young player also, so we’ll see if he can keep his position at Pirates, okay… Then maybe there will come a moment when we call him.
“But he’s very good and it’s very good we detect those players, follow those players and at the right moment we will call them, you can be sure of it.”

Hugo Broos invites 10 new players

Sports Brief earlier reported that South Africa head coach, Hugo Broos, has introduced ten new players into his 23-man squad for the upcoming FIFA Series friendlies this month.

Bafana Bafana are scheduled to compete against Andorra and Algeria in the four-team friendly event in Algeria, with matches scheduled for March 21 and 26, respectively.

The friendlies will mark the debut of the FIFA Series, a biennial invitational football tournament featuring friendly matches between national teams from different confederations, held every March in even-numbered years.
