Khama Billiat misses training due to illness ahead of Senegal match

Khama Billiat has been down with flu in the last couple of days, but coach, Kalisto Pasuwa yesterday said his condition had improved and was expected to have fully recovered to play in today’s match.

Pasuwa said both Billiat and Evans Rusike had been affected, but the medical team was working to get them ready for the Senegal clash. Said Pasuwa:

Both Khama and Rusike have had flu in the last few days. Their condition has improved considerably, and for Khama, it was serious at one point. He is better now and I think by tomorrow (today), he will be in the best condition for the match.

Team doctor, Nick Munyonga said Billiat missed training on Tuesday due to the cold, but was expected to get back to training last night. Besides injured Knowledge Musona who is expected to feature in Zimbabwe’s game against Tunisia, the rest of the squad is available for tonight’s match.
