Warriors right-back Tendayi Darikwa has withdrawn from the squad for Tuesday’s clash against the Black Stars of Ghana due to a family emergency.
The Wigan Athletic captain played in yesterday’s 1-3 defeat to Ghana but travelled to the UK after the match, to attend to an urgent family issue, Soccer24 reports.
As a result, the 29-year-old will not travel to Harare for Tuesday’s return match at the National Sports Stadium and has been replaced by Zambia-based Takudzwa Chimwemwe.
Meanwhile, the other UK-based players, Marvelous Nakamba, Jordan Zemura and Brendan Galloway have been cleared to travel to Harare, as the British government removed Zimbabwe from the COVID-19 “Red List”, with effect from Monday, 11 October 2021.
The Warriors will arrive in the country tomorrow afternoon.
