Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Warriors technical team has announced the squad for the next World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Ethiopia.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe will face Bafana Bafana on 3 September at the National Sports Stadium in Harare before travelling to Addis Ababa for the second Group G match on the 7th of the month.<\/p>\n

The campaign will mark the national team\u2019s return to the competition after a FIFA ban saw them miss the 2018 edition.<\/p>\n

The squad includes several England-based stars including Aston Villa midfielder Marvelous Nakamba, Luton Town forward Admiral Muskwe, Ipswich Town striker Macauley Bonne, Bournemouth defender Jordan Zemura and Wigan Athletic captain Tendayi Darikwa.<\/p>\n

However, the availability of these England-based stars is still uncertain after English clubs unanimously resolved not to release the players in the September window due to the coronavirus travel restrictions.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe is listed as among the riskiest countries and any travelling from there will be required to stay in quarantine for ten days and this will force the players to miss a couple of games.<\/p>\n

Here is the squad:<\/p>\n

Washington Arubi (Marumo Gallants) Talbert Shumba (Free State Stars) Martin Mapisa (Zamora CF)<\/p>\n

Teenage Hadebe (Houston Dynamo) Brendan Galloway (Plymouth Argyle) Onismor Bhasera (SuperSport United) Jordan Zemura (AFC Bournemouth) Divine Lunga (Mamelodi Sundowns) Tendayi Darikwa (Wigan Athletic) Takudzwa Chimwemwe (Nkana) Jimmy Dzingai (Unattached) Alec Mudimu (Torpedo Kutaisi)<\/p>\n

Blessing Sarupinda (Sekhukhune United) Jonah Fabisch (Hamburger SV) Marshall Munetsi (Stade de Reims) Marvelous Nakamba (Aston Villa) Tafadzwa Rusike, Thabani Kamusoko (Zesco United) Kudakwashe Mahachi (SuperSport United) Khama Billiat (Kaizer Chiefs) Perfect Chikwende (Simba SC) Butholezwe Ncube (Amazulu) Ovidy Karuru (Unattached)<\/p>\n

Terrence Dzvukamanja (Orlando Pirates) Tinotenda Kadewere (Lyon) David Moyo (Hamilton Academical) Admiral Muskwe (Luton Town) Knowledge Musona (Al-Tai) Macauley Bonne (Ipswich Town).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
