Kaizer Chiefs winger Keagan Dolly has described his call-up to the South Africa squad as a "bit tricky" with the team having made a great start in their 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifying campaign.
The 28-year-old has been in good form for the Soweto giants and his consistent displays have earned him a recall to the national team, with Bafana Bafana set to face Zimbabwe and Ghana in their last two matches in their qualifying group (Group G) next month.
Dolly admitted that he was pleased to be back in the Bafana fold for the first time since 2020, but he insisted that was not his main priority after reviving his career at the Glamour Boys, having struggled with injuries at French side Montpellier HSC.
“Look, my focus wasn’t on the national team. My focus was on doing well for Kaizer Chiefs. You know it was a rough start of the season," Dolly told Thomas Mlambo on the Ultimate Sport Show.
"But that was my main focus, helping the team and just getting back to my normal performance. Obviously, I’m excited about the call-up, it’s an exciting team, the boys have been doing well. So it’s always good to represent your country.”
