Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos says he is “surprised” by Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Rhulani Mokwena’s utterances in the media blaming the national team for injuries picked by the Brazilians’ players.
In post-match comments after Sundowns’ 2-2 Caf Champions League draw against Maniema Union last Sunday, Mokwena said some of their fitness woes are a result of Bafana duty.
His remarks came not long after Broos was the first to take a swipe at Sundowns in the media for organising Thabiso Kutumela to be vaccinated for Covid-19 during the international period.
“I will not comment about the remarks by Mr Mokwena, I’m very surprised by his comments, you don’t do that in the media, certainly when it comes to a colleague,” Broos told PSL Now as per iDiski Times.
“Mr Mokwena will receive my answer in the coming days. Again, if Mr Mokwena is frustrated, he can take the phone and call me and ask for some explanations but you don’t do it via the media.
