Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. Twenty-four Zimbabwean international footballers have confirmed that they will be part of the Warriors team to face both Botswana and Zambia for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier matches.
Zimbabwe will be without a number of key Warriors players including Khama Billiat and Marvelous Nakamba due to injuries and or travel restrictions by either their clubs or host countries.
The fate of France-based Marshall Munetsi and Tino Kadewere is not known at the moment although their clubs have applied the Fifa circular of February 5, 2021, which prohibits African players to travel to their home countries.
French Ligue 1 coaches are reportedly pressuring their clubs so that they release the players for African duty. Tino and Munetsi’s clubs, in that order, Lyonnais and Stade Reims, had given the players the green light to travel for the two matches.
Below is the full list of players who have confirmed their presence.
