Bafana Bafana head coach Stuart Baxter has issued a strong warning to any of his players who feel that they have a right to be in the starting XI ahead of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
In the past, many of South Africa’s top international footballers have had a rather tainted relationship with the coach due to a lack of game time.
However, Baxter will not be tolerating any indiscretion from the players and has encouraged them to toe the line or be shipped out.

"If any of the squad that we've picked there want to tell the leadership of the national team that they are not bench players, then they will be removed from the list,” Baxter was quoted as saying by Vodacom Soccer.
