Zimbabwe could have been dealt a major blow after youngster England based Ipswich Town midfielder Tristan Nydam has been named in the England U19 squad for their friendly internationals against Poland and Germany in early September.

The talented youngster who has been touted amongst other foreign Legion of players who could potentially dorn the National jersey could just have slipped off Zifa’s fingers.

The Young Lions take on Poland first at St George’s Park on Friday 1 September, before heading to Mansfield Town’s One Call Stadium four days later to face Germany.
