Aston Villa midfielder and Mamelodi Sundowns full-back Divine Lunga will miss the Warriors final FIFA 2022 World Cup qualifier against Ethiopia due to injury.
Zimbabwe takes on the Walias this Sunday in the Group G dead rubber encounter, with coach Norman Mapeza’s focus now on rebuilding the squad and preparing for the Africa Cup of Nations finals in Cameroon next year.
The match will be played at the National Sports Stadium in Harare this Sunday. The kick-off time is 3 PM CAT.
Meanwhile, Alec Mudimu is back having been suspended for the Warriors match against South Africa which the Warriors lost 0-1. ZIFA confirmed the development on its social media channels:
Alec Mudimu returns to boost Norman Mapeza’s options in defence. The Warrior missed the South Africa match serving a suspension.
Marvelous Nakamba will miss tomorrow’s match due to injury. So will Divine Lunga.
Mapeza is expected to make some changes to the team which played Bafana Bafana, as he seeks to assess some fringe players ahead of the AFCON finals.
