Bafana Bafana coach, Gordon Igesund, has announced his 23-man squad to take on European and world champions, Spain, at the FNB Stadium on November 19.
The most notable inclusion is the return of first choice goalkeeper and captain, Itumeleng Khune, who will be rested for the upcoming friendly against Swaziland at the National Stadium in the Swazi capital of Mbabane on November 15.
A lot of eye brows will be raised with the surprise exclusion of Kaizer Chiefs midfield maestro, Reneilwe Letsholonyane, who usually gives that extra mobility in the middle of the park, but has also endured a bit of dip in form of late.
