Zimbabwe’s national football team has been dealt an early setback ahead of the Four Nations Tournament after forward Tawanda Maswanhise was ruled out of the squad due to injury.
Maswanhise, who plays for Motherwell in Scotland, was expected to join the Warriors for the international tournament but reported a minor injury following his club match against Hibernian over the weekend.
The forward will remain in Scotland to manage the injury and will not travel for national duty.
The withdrawal is part of a broader injury concern for the national team, with experienced forward Knowledge Musona also ruled out, along with Prince Dube and Thando Ngwenya, who are all sidelined with injuries ahead of the tournament.
In response, the Warriors technical team has named replacements to reinforce the squad.
Washington Navaya of Hardrock FC has been called up, alongside Jarrison Selemani of FC Platinum, Mongameli Tshuma of Highlanders and Godknows Murwira of Scottland FC.
Despite the injury setbacks, the coaching staff will be hoping the new additions can integrate quickly into the squad and maintain momentum as the national team looks to put in strong performances during the tournament.
