Benjani spotted at Portsmouth training

Although the club tried to play down his return, there are indications that the striker might be roped in to help revive the club’s fortunes upfront.

If he pens a deal, the “Undertaker” will become the third Zimbabwean playing in England after Plymouth Argyle’s Onesimo Bhasera in League Two and Bradley Pritchard of Charlton Athletic in the Championship.

Meanwhile, in a Championship league match on Saturday, Prichard’s team got the better of Blackpool 2-1 to move to 14th on the standings, three points better than former Barclays Premiership outfit, Bolton Wanderers.

In what proved to be a fruitful weekend for Zimbabweans in England, Bhasera’s Plymouth Argyle also posted a similar 2-1 victory over Morecambe to ease their relegation worries.

In the A-League in Australia, the only Zimbabwean in that league, Tando Velaphi’s Melbourne Victory put up a spirited fight as they held leaders, Central Coast Mariners to a 1-1 draw to remain in third place in the standings.

Argentine, Marcos Flores opened the scores in the 42nd minute before a Daniel McBreen 78th minute penalty levelled matters for Central Coast Mariners.

Noel Kaseke and Eddie Mashinya’s Cyprus clubs were set to clash late last night while other European leagues with Zimbabweans are still on winter break.
