Zim players based abroad round-up

Aston Villa midfielder Marvelous Nakamba made his fifth appearance in the English Premier League on Sunday in a 3-2 defeat to Wolves.

The 27-year old had been tipped to start in the game as a cover-up to Douglas Luiz, who was a doubt due to a lack of preparation time after arriving late from international duty.

But coach Dean Smith has decided to throw in the Brazilian in the game, and Nakamba only replaced him in the last twenty-three minutes of the game.

In the English Championship, Jordan Zemura was on the scoresheet after finding the back of the net for log leaders Bournemouth in the 2-0 win against Bristol City on Saturday.

The goal is his third in this campaign after scoring a brace against Barnsley in September.

The 23-year old featured for eleven minutes in the 2-0 victory versus Millwall.
