A UK radio station, Talksport has projected that England-based Warriors striker, Macauley Bonne could snub Zimbabwe as he expects that his top form could get him a call up to the England squad.
The radio that which has extensively covered Bonne’s rapid rise speaks when Bonne has been included in the Warriors provisional team to play the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Posting on its website on Wednesday, Talksport said:
Charlton Athletic striker Macauley Bonne could be about to pause his international career as he sets his sights on a possible England call-up in the future.
The Addicks ace has had an excellent spell in the side as a replacement for Lyle Taylor, scoring five goals in seven starts, and given his exceptional rise at 24-years-old, there is a chance he could replicate the fortunes of Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, who went from Stocksbridge Park Steels all the way to Euro 2016 with the Three Lions.
Meanwhile, Bonne, like four more players included in the Warriors provisional squad, is yet to get a Zimbabwean passport which is a prerequisite if he has to play for Zimbabwe.
Bonne who missed out at this year’s AFCON finals which were held in Egypt since he had no Zimbabwean passport could be a perfect replacement for Nyasha Mushekwi who retired from international football.
