Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has confirmed who will start in goal in place of the unavailable Ronwen Williams for Friday's international friendly.

Williams is carrying a niggling injury and will not feature in the friendly international against Eswatini and this will give an opportunity to AmaZulu captain Veli Mothwa to start.

"(It will be) Veli," Broos confirmed in the press conference held at FNB Stadium on Thursday.

"Already in the beginning of the week we knew that Ronwen (Williams) was not available for the game against Eswatini, but we are optimistic for the game next week against Ivory Coast," he added. 

Broos, meanwhile, confirmed that Williams became a father for a second time to a daughter. His partner gave birth while he has been in camp and Broos spoke of how delighted the Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper is for this new chapter in his life.
