Nakamba to miss Warriors’ game against Comoros

Club Brugge midfielder Marvelous Nakamba will not play in the Warriors’ opening game at the Cosafa tournament this weekend.

Zimbabwe start their campaign against Group A winners Comoros in the quarterfinal round on Saturday at 5:30 pm.

Nakamba who is among the registered players for the tournament is unavailable for the last 8 round clash as he is set to attend the wedding of his friend and Warriors team-mate Kudakwashe Mahachi on the same day the national team will be in action.

The 25-year-old Belgium-based who has been a friend to the bridegroom since their time at Bantu Rovers is the best man.

“My childhood friend, Marvelous Nakamba, who has since become a member of my family will be my best man,” Mahachi told B-Metro.

The duo will join the rest of the in Durban after the wedding but are now likely to be drafted into the team that will play Nigeria in a friendly match on the 8th of June.

Nakamba, however, can still feature in other games at Cosafa should Zimbabwe manage to go beyond the quarterfinals.

Meanwhile, China-based striker Nyasha Mushekwi, goalkeeper George Chigova and midfielder Danny Phiri who have been excluded from the Cosafa squad will also travel with the team to West Africa.
