Burnley defender Tendayi Darikwa ready to play for Warriors, Billiat struggling with injury

United Kingdom based, Marshall Gore, who has said that Burnley defender Tendayi Darikwa is ready to commit to the Warriors. He said that even though the defender cannot feature in Zimbabwe’s opening AFCON 2019 qualifying match against Liberia on June 11 because he holds a British passport, he would still like to travel to the country so that he gets to know his teammates better.

Said Gore:

The latest is that after a lot of discussions I can reveal that Darikwa has committed himself to playing for Zimbabwe and that is very positive news indeed. A lot has been said and written about his situation but he is a professional and we had to talk to him at that level and he has told me that he has made up his decision and wants to play for Zimbabwe.

Gore said that he was waiting for ZIFA to give him the green light so that he can buy a ticket for Darikwa to fly to Harare.
