Hugo Broos has blasted Njabulo Blom’s US Major League Soccer side St Louis SC, for failing to communicate properly over a mystery illness that could mean he misses Bafana Bafana’s two Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Liberia at the end of this month.
The Bafana head coach, however, said at the squad announcement on Thursday afternoon that he is “angry” with St Louis, as they have not yet confirmed to Bafana the nature of a problem that ruled Blom out of last weekend’s game for St Louis against Portland Timbers. “Njabulo played two games, then he didn’t play against Portland. They said he is sick, we said ‘with what?’ and they didn’t answer,” said Broos.
“So we contacted Njabulo, and he said yes he didn’t feel good, he said ‘I think I have Covid’. Ok, but then you can get a test? Yesterday we got a mail from St Louis at 5pm telling us that their coaching and medical staff were discussing Blom’s situation. Now, 20 hours later, we still do not have an answer.
