Kaizer Chiefs’ Njabulo Blom doubts his recent change in position will jeopardise his chances of getting Bafana Bafana call-ups.
Despite excelling at right-back in the first half of the campaign, Blom has been preferred to operate in midfield by Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter in the side’s first two matches of the new year, against TS Galaxy in the first round of the Nedbank Cup and against Cape Town City in the league.
Blom’s growth as a right-back saw him receive a number of Bafana call-ups during the World Cup qualifiers last year. Even with his new role at club level, the lad from Dobsonville in Soweto believes Bafana coach Hugo Broos will still consider him for selection. “From the development team, working with coach Arthur [Zwane], I have always known that you shouldn’t be limited as a player. As players we should be versatile. Coach Baxter told me that taking me to the midfield was in the best interest of the team and I accepted that. I am comfortable at both right-back and [in] the midfield.”
