Forward, Lyle Foster, has been recalled to the Bafana Bafana squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers set for next month.
Bafana Bafana coach, Hugo Broos, earlier today named a 36-member preliminary squad for the matches against Nigeria and Zimbabwe.
Foster had missed the Afcon tournament due to mental health issues.
Percy Tau has also been named in the squad, as well as award-winning goalkeeper, Ronwen Williams.
Thabo Moloisane, Devin Titus and Relebohile Mofokeng have been called up for the first time.
Bafana are currently second in Group C after beating Benin 2-1 before losing to Rwanda.
Broos’ charges face Nigeriaโs Super Eagles away in Uyo on June 7 and then will return home to host Zimbabwe at the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein on the 11th.
The final squad, which will have 23 players, will be announced soon.

On the cricket front,ย Proteas Menโs fast bowler, Kagiso Rabada, has left the Indian Premier League and returned home.
This is due toย a lower limb soft tissue infection.
According to Cricket SA (CSA), Rabada consulted a specialist on arrival in South Africa and is being closely monitored by the CSA medical team.
He is, however, expected to be available for the upcoming ICC Menโs T20 World Cup in West Indies and USA.
I hope Kagiso Rabada will be fully fit for the World Cup๐๐ฝ #SMGoSports #CPUTMediaCreatives #CPUTMedia https://t.co/ZGGXMEq6GX
