The men's senior national team assembled in Johannesburg on Sunday ahead of a critical two weeks as Broos and his charges prepare for home and away Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Liberia.

The 70-year-old Broos handpicked 23 players to be a part of the squad, surprising the South African public by opting against calling up any Chiefs players.

This means there are no Glamour Boys in the national squad for the first time in Bafana's history since readmission in 1992.

Of the players Broos has selected, Mamelodi Sundowns boast eight players in the squad, while Chiefs' archrivals, Orlando Pirates, have three players.

Speaking to reporters after Chiefs earned a 3-2 win over Maritzburg United in the DStv Premiership, Zwane believes the reason Chiefs have no players in the national squad is because of his side's poor conversion rate of chances.

"I have always been saying this – this season, the only difference between us and teams that are doing well is not taking the chances," said Zwane, as quoted by iDiski Times.

"Today, we took our chances, and we won 3-2. Though it was not an easy game for us, we managed to score three goals which is a positive thing out of what we have been doing.

"Why are our players judged with creating chances and missing them, and all of a sudden, they are not good enough? So, it's normal in football, it's normal."
