Bradley back to face Senegal
SuperSport United striker and Benoni High School old boy, Bradley Grobler (28), is back in the Bafana Bafana set-up after a long absence.
He has been included in national men’s football coach Shakes Mashaba’s team for the must-win 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Senegal at Polokwane’s Peter Mokaba Stadium this Saturday (November 12).
Bafana have to be beat a Senegalese team that includes in-form Liverpool winger Sadio Mane, in order to move to the top spot in Group D.
Only the top team in the group will qualify for a spot in Russia in 2018.
Bafana has been weak in the goals department for a while now and striker Grobler is hoping to make his return to the national team count, if given the chance.
“It’s always amazing to play for your country,” he told the City Times.
“To be back is good and I feel that the call-up has come at a great time in my career.
“I’m really enjoying myself.”
Grobler, almost exactly five years to the day, scored on his international debut against Zimbabwe in Harare.
“I will never forget scoring on my debut.
“It’s been a while since I was last with the Bafana Bafana squad and I would love to score on my return.”
The match will kick-off at 3pm.
