FORMER Castle Lager Premier Soccer League champions Chicken Inn are praying for the recovery of midfielders George Majika, Shepherd Mhlanga, Richard Hachiro and striker Malvin Hwata ahead of their weekend tie against CAPS United at Bata Stadium.
The four key Gamecocks players having been nursing different knocks.
“We hope to have a full strong squad when we go for the CAPS match. It is every coach’s wish to have all his players fit and I hope and pray Majika, Mhlanga, Hachiro and Hwata will be fully fit. We are in a crucial stage of the season were everyone in the league is fighting hard to pick up points,” said Matore.
Last weekend, Chicken Inn were held to a 1-1 draw by their city neighbours Bulawayo Chiefs at Luveve Stadium.
Meanwhile, Matore has welcomed the Chibuku Super quarter final draw that was conducted on Tuesday.
Chicken Inn were paired with army side Black Rhinos.
“It’s a fair draw for us but it’s not going to be an easy game. Cup games are always unpredictable but we will give a fight,” said Matore.
