Hugo Broos was unhappy that the player was injured again, saying that it was a constant problem with Tau. As reported by Goal.com, Broos suggested that Tau take a six-month break from football in order to recover from his numerous injuries. Broos added that numerous players picked up injuries when they were regularly playing in games and it was only natural.

According to Shobier, Tau was deeply upset by the comments and doesn’t want to play for the national team while Broos remained in charge, Soccer Laduma reported.

"South Africa head coach excluded Tau from his squad and he seems to be angry with the player," Shobier said.

"After excluding Tau, Broos made a statement, claiming that the player needs a six-month break,” he added.

Shobier’s comments though seem to suggest that Broos excluded Tau from the squad, despite the coach saying that the play withdrew due to his injury.
