Igesund has since brought in Kaizer Chiefs full-back Siboniso Gaxa as a replacement, although the former Moroka Swallows tactician remains thoroughly unimpressed with Ngcongca and his club's failure to clarify his lack of availability.
"I only got the news today (Tuesday) - Ngcongca was supposed to arrive (Monday night). It was only then that I got people onto it to find out what the story was," Igesund told The Sowetan.
"Apparently, the club knew he was injured on Thursday - on the day I announced the squad.
"I just wish there had been better communication from the club... to not arrive here today having not told us is unacceptable."
