The national coach has since questioned the reasoning behind why the Bafana camp was not informed when selecting the squad.
"If the players are really injured, they (Sundowns) have to inform us. We have a doctor. They know we have a doctor so why don't they call us and give us a medical report?" Broos questioned during a press conference held ahead of the clash against Andorra.

Following their last 16 Nedbank Cup victory over Maritzburg United on Sunday, the Downs coach revealed both Williams and Mokoena has been battling to keep fit since returning from the Afcon.
"They didn't do it, so that means the players are fit. I'm very sorry, I can't go on rumours of coach Rulani saying the players are injured, give me a medical report," Broos said to the media.
"I'm very sorry, but I don't like it when they go and tell the press, they have to call us and tell us (what is) the problem," he added.
Bafana play the European nation on Thursday night at 23:00, SA time; before facing 2019 African champions, Algeria, next Tuesday.
