CAPS United defender Hardlife Zvirekwi has started training less than a month after his hand was amputated from the wrist following an accident that threatened his career. He took part on some light training at the Zifa Village yesterday as Caps United prepared for their clash against Herentals.
CAPS United team doctor Nicholas Munyonga said if Zvirekwi decides to play he would have to do it without the artificial hand as it was not allowed on the field of play. Zvirekwi is expected to start playing in the second half of the season since Caps United had deregistered him to give him time to recuperate. He is optimistic that he will play again and believes balance will not be a hindrance. Said Zvirekwi:
I am hopeful, I will play. I can’t say when will I return, but I am optimistic. As for the balance, I don’t think it could be a hindrance. From where my hand was amputated, some people have said it should not be a problem to balance.
