Dlamini is one of the seven SA based players in the Swaziland squad.
Meanwhile, Swaziland preparations appear to be in disarray after the players had threatened a strike over unpaid match bonuses. The players, unhappy over mach unpaid allowances that dates as far back as the World Cup preliminary match against Cape Verde last year, had refused to train until the association has addressed their grievances.
Swazi coach Dumisani Mahlalela appeared helpless at the situation and called on the association to take swift action.
"It's only the FA that can save us now," he said.
"There's nothing we coaches can do because the players have made up their minds. So far the FA have not bothered to come and assess the situation."
