Warriors captain dismisses rumours they staged a protest over bonuses, says they are ready for Senegal

Warriors captain Willard Katsande has dismissed rumours that they staged another protest yesterday over bonuses and reiterated his men were firmly focused on their next Afcon Group B qualifier against Senegal tomorrow night.

The Warriors didn’t train in the morning yesterday after having held a 90-minute workout on Monday night, and it led to speculation the players had boycotted training after allegedly clashing with Zifa over how much they should be paid for the point they picked in the 2-2 draw against Algeria. Katsande explained the situation:

We never said we are not going to train but it was recovery day because we played on Sunday night and last night the guys who were on the bench played a friendly match to keep the fitness levels high and then the coach decided to give the whole day off and train at night and so we are training tonight (last night).
