Young Warriors Out Of This Year's COSAFA Tournament Due To Budgetary Constraints

CAPS United head coach is reportedly frustrated and appalled by the PSL’s decision to summon 4 of his players for a disciplinary hearing just 1 day before a crucial match.
Darlington Dodo said the time for the hearing was wrong as it coincided with one of their biggest matches for this season. Said Dodo:
<blockquote>The timing was wrong. I don’t think its proper. Its mind blogging and very unfortunate to have such things when you have a crucial match ahead.</blockquote>
4 CAPS United players <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Ronald_Chitiyo">Ronald Chitiyo</a>, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Dominic_Chungwa">Dominic Chungwa</a>, John Zhuwawu and Carlos Rusere are accused of assaulting a match official after their team lost to Chicken Inn in Bulawayo a few weeks ago. If the 4 are found guilty today at their hearing, they face a 3 match ban. CAPS will play ZPC Kariba tomorrow.

PSL's Decision To Summon 4 Caps United Players For A Disciplinary Hearing Before A Crucial Match Angers Caps Coach

According to the Daily News, the red hot <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Highlanders_Football_Club">Highlanders</a> player,<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Prince_Dube"> Prince Dube</a> will miss his team’s watershed final game against Ngezi Platinum as he was called for duty and travelled to Harare behind his coach’s back.
<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Hendrik_Pieter_de_Jongh">de Jongh</a> expressed <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/11/13/de-jongh-criticises-disorganised-premier-soccer-league/">his displeasure on the arrangement</a> and the fact that the Warriors’ managers went behind his back and broke their agreement as he had agreed that Prince will join the Warriors camp later on today.
Said de Jongh:
<blockquote>I did not release Prince. I agreed with national team coach Antipas that he will be released soon after our match against Ngezi and will fly to Harare soon after. The Highlanders CEO (Nhlanhla Dube) did organise the flight for Prince.
It is strange that the national team manager (Wellington Mpandare) called Prince directly behind my back and that of Antipas. How is it possible that the national team manager does not even consult the national team coach? Everything was done without me knowing.</blockquote>
Prince Dube will miss the Chibuku cup finals slated for today in Bulawayo.

Prince Dube To Miss Today's Final Against Ngezi As He Was Called For National Duty Behind His Coach's Back

Manchester United forward Raheem Sterling was axed from the England squad set to face Montenegro on Thursday in a Euro 2020 qualifier following an altercation with Liverpool defender Joe Gomez at St George’s Park on Monday.
Sterling and Gomez had to be separated by teammates after the former grabbed the latter by the throat in an angry reaction to a polite greeting. In a statement, the English Football Association (FA) said:
<blockquote>The FA can confirm Raheem Sterling will not be considered for Thursday’s Euro 2020 qualifier against Montenegro as a result of a disturbance in a private team area at St George’s Park today. He will remain with the squad.</blockquote>
Sterling and Gomez were involved in a heated clash on Sunday towards the end of the match in which Liverpool beat Manchester City 3-1, and Monday’s incident was a spillover of the emotions that had been stirred the previous day.
Gomez had been called from the bench by manager Jurgen Klopp to play as a second right-back in order to negate Sterling’s growing threat as the match entered the final stages.

Raheem Sterling Axed From Team To Face Montenegro After Fight With Joe Gomez

Highlanders coach <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Hendrik_Pieter_de_Jongh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hendrik Pieter de Jongh</a> has criticised the Premier Soccer League (PSL) and the Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) for ignoring FIFA guidelines on international breaks.
De Jongh had agreed with Warriors coach Joey Antipas to have striker <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Prince_Dube" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Prince Dube</a> in his team for Wednesday’s clash against Ngezi Platinum Stars at <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Barbourfields_Stadium" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Barbourfields Stadium</a> only for Wellington Mpandare (Warriors Team Manager) to lure Dube behind his coach’s back. A fuming De Jongh said:
<blockquote>It’s not true that if your club has no more than three players in the national team then you can play a competitive match during the break, it’s not true. That is a Zifa and PSL rule. l am talking of Fifa rules and Fifa rules override PSL rules. We will try to work on a good result in tomorrow’s game. It won’t be easy, but we are in a good mood, good spirits. </blockquote>
Antipas, who doubles as Chicken Inn coach, had earlier castigated the PSL for scheduling league fixtures during the international break.
Antipas will have to temporarily abandon the Warriors camp to take charge of the Gamecocks against Mushowami Stars in Bindura.

Warriors and Kaizer Chiefs winger, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Khama_Billiat" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Khama Billiat</a>, flew in from Johannesburg with the members of his Foundation to donate various goods to his former primary school, Gwinyiro, in <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Mufakose" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mufakose</a>, Harare.
Billiat donated goods worth 100 000 Rand on Tuesday before joining the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_National_Football_Team" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Warriors</a> at their first session in the afternoon. Speaking to reporters about the donation, he said:
<blockquote>I was giving back to the school that l went to. I brought some sanitary pads, soccer kits, netball kits.
It took long for me to do it, I don’t know why but I thought, maybe, I would do it with the Khama Billiat Foundation.
… I found it proper for my team to fly this side and do it here while I am in camp. It is not about soccer only, we just want to try and help as much as we can.</blockquote>
Billiat was born at Mufakose Clinic on August 19 in 1990. He did his Grade One at Marimba Primary, and in 1998 he started Grade 2 at Gwinyiro.
He started playing for the school team when he was in Grade Three, and when he was in Grade Five, Marc Duvillard brought him on a scholarship to Lord Malvern. By the time he was in Grade Six, Billiat was playing at Aces Academy.

Chimedza made the comments while responding to a report in Belgium which highlighted the debate surrounding the decision to call Musona for the matches against Botswana and Zambia. He said:
<blockquote>For our national team, he is important. Just like when (Thomas) Vermaelen was not playing (for) Barca but was always in the Rode Duivels (Red Devils, the Belgian national team).</blockquote>
Chimedza scored a goal for the Zimbabwe national team against the Black Stars of Ghana at the 2006 AFCON finals hosted by Egypt.
Meanwhile, Musona, who is expected to arrive in Zimbabwe this Wednesday, has not played competitively for his club Anderlecht in the Belgian top-flight league this season.

Warriors coach, Joey Antipas has criticised the decision by the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League to have games this week which is supposed to be an international break.
Antipas who is also Chicken Inn FC coach said that he will find a way to balance between national team coaching role and club role. He added:
<blockquote>But this whole thing is a mess because this is a Fifa week. Everywhere in the world, there are no local games being played.
Mind you, the national team games take priority over the domestic programme.</blockquote>
There are some teams will be playing this week’s matches without their key players since they were called for national duty.
Meanwhile, Antipas’ boss at Chicken Inn, Lifa Ncube, is the Premier Soccer League vice-chairman.

"This Whole Thing Is A Mess," Warriors Coach Criticises PSL

Botswana Football Association has said that ZIFA did not give a valid reason for changing the venue for the 2021 AFCON qualifier match from  Barbourfields, Bulawayo to the Nationals Sports Stadium in Harare. 

Zimbabwe changed the venue saying that Bulawayo City Council had indicated that floodlights at Barbourfields might not work properly since they were last used a long time ago. 
Bulawayo, however, dismissed the reports saying they were never engaged by the Zimbabwe Football Association. 
Botswana Football Association’s national team’s general manager, Majok MonnaKgotla said that the Confederation of African Football should have done something. MonnaKgotla added: 
<blockquote>They changed the venue to Harare without giving a valid reason. They cited poor floodlights, but our investigations proved otherwise. It is fine. We go to Harare and fight. I feel CAF have done something with it.</blockquote>

England-based Warriors striker, Macauley Bonne has issued a statement after withdrawing from the Warriors squad to play the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Botswana this week.

<blockquote>I am both delighted and privileged to be selected to join the Zimbabwe national team and I appreciate all those involved in securing my passport. I’ve been working extremely hard at club level and to receive this, is something I dreamed of as a boy. 
Unfortunately and reluctantly, I am unable to travel due to unforeseen medical grounds, which is a huge frustration to me, as it will be to the people of Zimbabwe. 
The messages of support via social media are very much appreciated and although I cannot reply to every message, I do take everyone to heart. 
I’d like to wish the entire Zimbabwe team the very best of luck in the coming game(s). In the meantime, I will maintain a line of communication to Welly Mpandare and the ZIFA representatives.

Tino Kadewere's Injury a Big Blow For Us - Warriors Manager

Chelsea has leapfrogged Manchester City into second place in the table after recording a sixth consecutive Premier League win for the first time since the title-winning season of 2016-17.
The Blues beat Crystal Palace 2-0 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon through goals from Tammy Abraham (52) and Christian Pulisic (79).
Chelsea are now five points behind leaders Liverpool who hosts Manchester City on Sunday. Speaking to BBC Sport after the win, Chelsea manager,<a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/11/08/frank-lampard-wins-barclays-manager-of-the-month/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Frank Lampard, who was named Barclays Manager of the Month for the month of October</a>, said:
<blockquote>We certainly deserved to win the game, but it was frustrating in a way because we had chances but not enough clear-cut ones.</blockquote>
Chelsea no longer has Eden Hazard but there has been a notable evolution in their attacking play since Lampard was installed as manager.
Lampard has put faith in the club’s youths with Fikayo Tomori, 21, Mason Mount, 20 and Abraham, 22, Christian Pulisic, 21, and 19-year-old Reece James, making his first Premier League start, making his starting side the youngest ever in Premier League terms.

A pro-democracy campaigner, Briggs Bomba, said Zimbabweans should stop viewing President <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Emmerson_Mnangagwa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Emmerson Mnangagwa</a> and MDC president <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Nelson_Chamisa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nelson Chamisa</a> as minor deities.
The Citizens Manifesto convener was speaking at the movement’s review of their National People’s Conference the group held last month. He said:
<blockquote>Citizens must understand that there is nothing special about President Emmerson Mnangagwa and MDC President Nelson Chamisa, nothing at all.
… we should stop treating them as demigods and let them realise they are there to serve the interests of those who voted them into power; they serve us.</blockquote>
Bomba reminded his audience that during their childhood, Mnangagwa and Chamisa walked barefoot in <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Mberengwa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mberengwa</a> and Gutu respectively, and should not be treated as demigods.
He urged the electorate to introspect and realise that they were making continuous mistakes in voting for promises rather than results.
