Baxter has gone for the tried and tested in his squad selecting largely the players he’s used in the AFCON qualifiers.

Bafana Bafana head coach Stuart Baxter has included Swiss-based defender Joel Untersee and Crystal Palace’s Nikola Tavares in his 30-man provisional squad for the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament to be held in Egypt next month.

Baxter says the two players who are yet to kick the ball for Bafana are still in the process of finalising their paperwork that will make them eligible to play for South Africa.

Baxter has gone for the tried and tested in his squad selecting largely the players he’s used in the AFCON qualifiers.

The Bafana squad goes into camp on the second of next month and will be in the country until the 12th before they depart for Dubai where they will finalise their preparations before going to Egypt.

They play their opening game on the 24th against Cote D’Ivoire, before facing Namibia on the 28th and Morocco on the first of July.

Baxter says they will now only fly into the United Arab Emirates for the final warm-up matches.

Baxter has previously said that he will be taking some few youngsters to the AFCON as part of SAFA Vision 2022 and with most of these players forming part of the COSAFA Cup squad and not in the 30-man team he announced this afternoon, how is he going to achieve this…?

When Baxter selected the squad to play Libya in the final qualifier in March, a lot of questions were asked about the omission of Cape Town City striker Kermit Erasmus but this time around he is in the team and will have to fight for his place in the final camp. – Report by Velile Mnyandu
