Goodman Mosele is out of the Bafana Bafana squad to face Ethiopia in crucial back to back qualifiers for the 2022 Qatar Fifa World Cup next week after the Orlando Pirates central midfielder “absconded” from his national team call-up.

“Sadly Goodman has absconded,” said the 69-year-old Africa Cup of Nations-winning coach. “We have tried reaching him to no avail and this is extremely disappointing.” The Bafana coach was dealt another blow when Mamelodi Sundowns centre-back Mosa Lebusa was released from the squad with a niggling injury that saw him miss the game against Pirates.
“I’ve played under-17 and also recently played at the Tokyo Olympics. This is my first call up for the senior men’s national team and I’m going to make the most of it,” said Fleurs. Bafana top Group G on four points after two qualifiers after a goalless draw against Zimbabwe in Harare and a 1-0 win over Ghana at FNB Stadium last month.
