South Africa's all-time leading scorer Benni McCarthy has been left out of their squad for the forthcoming 2010 FIFA World Cup.

The West Ham United striker, 32, has struggled for fitness in recent months and has been criticized for being overweight.

Benni McCarthy was one of 5 players cut from a 28-man training squad, with goalkeeper Rowen Fernandez, defenders Bryce Moon and Innocent Mdledle, and midfielder Franklin Cale also omitted.

Bafana Bafana will play against France, Uruguay and Mexico in Group A.
