- Kaizer Chiefs boss Stuart Baxter says Keagan Dolly "absolutely warranted" his recall to the Bafana Bafana squad.
- The 28-year-old will be a part of the upcoming camp for the World Cup qualifiers against Zimbabwe and Ghana.
- Bafana are two victories away from advancing to the next and final round of qualifiers.
Kaizer Chiefs head coach Stuart Baxter has backed the decision by Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos to recall Keagan Dolly to the national setup.
The 28-year-old spent four years in France before returning to South African shores, inking a lucrative deal with Kaizer Chiefs and becoming their marquee signing ahead of the 2021/22 campaign.
After a slow start, the winger cut down in weight and saw his performances improve for the Glamour Boys.
His star performances for Amakhosi did not go unnoticed as Broos included the former Mamelodi Sundowns forward in his final 24-man squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Zimbabwe and Ghana.
"With Keagan, I think it's absolutely warranted; he's been excellent in the games," Baxter told reporters after Chiefs' 1-0 defeat against Stellenbosch on Tuesday.
"He has worked very, very hard, and he's showed since he came back from France that he's not one of these [guys] who has a bit of experience abroad and therefore come back and show everyone how clever he is.
"He's putting in serious shifts as the stats would show... I'm sure that's something in the thoughts of Hugo."
After four qualifying matches, Bafana Bafana remain at the top of Group G with 10 points, ahead of second-placed Ghana (9 points).
The Black Stars are South Africa's only threat heading into the final two matches, with the group winner advancing to the next round of qualifiers.
Ethiopia and Zimbabwe have no chance of advancing to the next round.
On Thursday, 11 November (20:30), South Africa welcome the Warriors before boarding a plane to take on the Black Stars three days later on Sunday, 14 November (17:00).
