I have to prepare for the World Cup and I think when we have a disappointment in the World Cup people won’t say, ow coach, you did say that Sundowns players are busy,” said Broos.

Zwane started the game against Panama on Tuesday, but was taken out after 55 minutes, with Broos indicating after the game that the 36-year-old was not ready to play 90 minutes.“We will see him next Tuesday, and he’ll recuperate. And if he recuperates, he will play again, because he needs that. If Themba stays like he is now, fit, no injuries, then even when he’s not ready for 90 minutes, he will be with us at the World Cup,” commented Broos.
