Highlanders FC’s Chigumira out for Hwange tie

HIGHLANDERS FC will on Sunday face tricky Hwange away at the Colliery Stadium without the services of injured defender Marvelous Chigumira.

Chigumira, a gifted defender, was on top of his game last weekend when Bosso dismissed visiting Yadah Stars 2-0.

“We have six players injured and Marvelous Chigumira is one of them. He joins the likes of Stanley Ngala, Devine Mhindirira and Godfrey Makaruse,” said Bosso assistant coach Antonio Torres.

The much-anticipated match between Bosso and Chipangano is expected to draw a big crowd in the football crazy coal mining town.

In the first leg encounter that was played at Barbourfields Stadium at the end of April, ended 1-0 in Highlanders’ favour.
