Williams Sits Out Training, Goss To Step In?

Williams Sits Out Training, Goss To Step In?

Bafana Bafana captain Ronwen Williams had to sit out training on Monday afternoon and is a doubt for the international friendly against DR Congo on Tuesday. 

Bafana Bafana, fresh from a goalless draw with Namibia on Saturday, trained at Orlando Stadium on Monday afternoon, but Williams sat on the sidelines while the rest of the players prepared for DR Congo under the watchful eye of head coach Hugo Broos.

Veli Mothwa started the clash against Namibia over the weekend and Williams was expected to start the encounter against DR Congo on Tuesday evening, but SuperSport United goalkeeper Ricardo Goss could get the opportunity to play, with Broos giving all the players in the camp an opportunity to prove themselves. 

Ahead of the clash against DR Congo, Broos has confirmed he will be making changes and explained why this match is a bit more serious than the one against Namibia over the weekend.

"Tomorrow it's a new opponent, a different opponent. They have also qualified for AFCON. It's a better team than Namibia, more quality. They play also differently than Namibia, so I think it will be a nicer game to watch than what we saw on Saturday, not only from our side, but from two teams I think will play for winning," Broos told the media on Monday afternoon.

"The result is important, so we change a little bit our mindset. I can't tell you that the performance is more important, no. For the game against Congo, the result is important. We have to see if we can win that game. I wouldn't want to enter a camp with a draw and a defeat, not at all. So, also for the players, there will be another mindset."
