No Tau, but Mayo returns: Broos makes wholesale changes for Bafana's first camp after Afcon

Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has made 10 changes, including the omission of star forward Percy Tau, to the 23-man squad that did Africa Cup on Nations duty in Ivory Coast last month ahead of the FIFA Series international friendlies pilot project in Algeria.

Currently ranked 58th in the world, Bafana will face Andorra (ranked 164th) in an official match for the first time. This encounter will take place at the 19 May 1956 Stadium in Annaba, Algeria, on Thursday, 21 March.

Following this, they will go head-to-head against the hosts, Algeria (ranked 34th), at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Algiers on Tuesday, 26 March, before returning home the next day.

Fan favourite Tau is the biggest name missing from Bafana's Afcon player pile, which claimed the bronze medal at the African football showpiece held over January and February.
