Banyana Banyana midfielder, Amanda Dlamini and goalkeeper Monye Theledi have been called up to replace two injured players ahead of the team's international friendly encounter against France.
Nompumelelo Nyandeni and Roxanne Barker have been withdrawn from the Banyana squad, due to the two players currently nursing injuries.
However, SAFA have confirmed that Dlamini and Theledi will serve as replacements for the duo.
"We opted for Amanda Dlamini because of her experience after we lost the services of Nyandeni and when you play the likes of top nations like France, experience counts a lot,"interim head coach Desiree Ellis said in a press-release.

"As for Theledi, she was identified at the 2016 Sasol League National Championship in Mosselbay. We could have called up other goalkeepers who have been in the system before but we thought we have two quality goalkeepers and the third is unlikely to play, so it was best to bring her (Theledi) in so she can get some experience the Banyana Banyana set up," she added.
Banyana will face France in an international friendly on Sunday, January 22, in Saint-Denis, Reunion Islands.
