There's cause for concern inside the Bafana Bafana camp at the moment.
The national side will compete in two 2026 World Cup qualifiers, taking on Nigeria and Zimbabwe.
Hugo Broos' men stand a good chance of qualifying for their first World Cup tournament since 2010, as they currently sit second on the qualifying table.
The winners of each of the nine groups will qualify for the 48-team tournament in Mexico, Canada and the US in 2026.

Times LIVE reported that the national team coach is concerned about player fatigue heading into the following two fixtures, which are taking place in a month.
Bafana are currently mostly made up of Mamelodi Sundowns players, but the Brazilians have already participated in six different competitions this season.
Masandawana have already played 53 games, and still have a further five to play.
They will play five more games, including the Nedbank Cup final before the season ends. That final against Orlando Pirates will take place just six days before Bafana's first game against Nigeria.
With two out of the 10 games already played in the qualifiers, Bafana will be confident about their chances of winning their group.
They currently have only Rwanda ahead of them and are ahead of Nigeria. They still have to play the Super Eagles twice, but they will fancy their chances against the other teams in the group.
