Former Al Ahly goalkeeper Ahmed Shobier has made a bold statement suggesting Percy Tau does not want to play for South Africa under Hugo Broos.
Shobier, who is now a pundit, was commenting after Tau was excluded from Broos’s current squad, albeit due to an injury.
Kingfut reported that the 61-year-old, believes that Tau might not want to play under Broos.
Shobier, a former vice-president of the Egyptian Football Association, says he was surprised by Broos’s statement after Tau’s exclusion, that suggested the former Mamelodi Sundowns and Brighton & Hove Albion player should take a six month break.
“South Africa head coach excluded Tau from his squad and he seems to be angry with the player,” Shobeir was quoted as saying by Kingfut.
“Percy Tau doesn’t seem to want to play for South Africa with Broos as head coach as well.
“After excluding Tau, Broos made a statement, claiming that the player needs a six-month break.
“That was strange, especially since Tau was one of his most important players.”
