Nakamba Returns as Nees names Warriors squad for Afcon Qualifier

Online Reporter

MICHAEL Nees has recalled Marvellous Nakamba to the Warriors.

Nakamba who was captain of the side and the highest profile star in the side before injury forced him out of the national senior team, is a notable addition to the side called up by the new national coach.

The scoring duo of Knowledge Musona and Nyasha Mushekwi are not part of the squad. There were calls for Nees to consider them in his next assignments.

The Luton Town defensive midfielder has had game time in the opening matches of the English Championship so far.

Zimbabwe take on Namibia in an Afcon 2025 qualifying match at Orlando Stadium in South Africa next week.

The players will assemble in Johannesburg on Sunday, October 6 to prepare for the October 11 game.
