Pitso Mosimane| Wishes Percy Tau an Injury-free 2023
Pitso Mosimane head coach of Al-Ahli Saudi has sent a clear message to South African international player Percy Tau to encourage him to have a good year of 2023 by being injury free.
Percy Tau who is AL Ahly player returned with two goals before facing a muscle injury that saw him not included from national team squad.
Since joining Ahly, Tau has missed several Bafana camps, mainly due to injuries and limited game time, especially after the departure of Mosimane from the Cairo club.
“[Tau’s situation] is a problem because he doesn’t play. He was injured at the end of June and the league in Egypt was finished in August and he didn’t play any game after that,” said Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos at the time.
“And now since the competition has started, he has played 23 minutes [in total in 2022-2023]. He came on for 18 minutes and for four minutes.
“When you look at the performances of Percy in the previous games with Bafana Bafana, he was not the Percy of the highest level. I know him well. I saw him play in Belgium with Anderlecht and Brugge. I haven’t seen him at that level again.
I’m not blaming Percy — he went from one injury to another all year last year at Al Ahly. And I think he was very happy to have a coach like Pitso because he protected him. You saw the critics he had at the end of the [past] season and that is normal when you are not 100% fit and you have to play. You won’t reach your level,” said Broos.
