FCSB defender Siyabonga Ngezana has broken his silence on missing out on the Bafana Bafana squad for the FIFA World Cup and opened up about the end of the season.
Ngezana did not make the preliminary or the final squad for the global showpiece set to be held in the USA, Mexico, and Canada.
He had been a massive part of Hugo Broos’s team during the World Cup qualifiers and the AFCON tournament held in Morocco earlier this year.
Having battled with injuries at times this year, he recovered ahead of the World Cup but still missed out on the final team.
Ngezana says the campaign had its ups and downs, with many setbacks including that injury. He revealed that he was supposed to undergo surgery but avoided it, hoping for a World Cup selection that ultimately didn’t come.
He concluded by wishing the selected Bafana squad all the best in the tournament.
“A reason, A season, A blessing or A lesson. But never a Loss…season comes to an end 25/26,” said Ngezana via Instagram.
“It’s been a tough season too many setbacks battling with so much pains on my knee more than 7 months now, avoiding to make meniscus surgery not to miss the World Cup unfortunately things didn’t turn as planned…
“Now it is the right time for me to make a surgery, recover, reflect, refresh, reset, rest and get back to the fight
bring back what belong to us.
“Thanks for the support from my Team (FCSB) and wish the best of luck to Bafana Bafana in the World Cup, make us proud boys bring it home kadlala hle.”
