Highlanders gear up for Scottland FC showdown with fully fit squad

Brandon Moyo

HIGHLANDERS head coach Kelvin Kaindu said they are expecting a fully fit squad as his side prepares for a home game against premier league debutants, Scottland FC at Barbourfields Stadium on Sunday.

The Bulawayo giants have had to play with a thin squad in their opening three games of the league due to injuries and a transfer ban which has since been lifted. Kaindu said expectations are high for the Sunday game but is happy that his players have recovered well.

“We are back, the league resumes and we are playing Scottland on Sunday. There is so much in terms of expectations from everybody, but we are happy that in terms of our medical bill, so far most of our players are almost getting back 100 percent in terms of their match fitness,” said Kaindu.

Bosso utilised the FIFA international break by embarking on a week-long team bonding camp in Beitbridge where they also played a couple of friendlies against Bishopstone and Dulibadzimu.

Kaindu said they picked some positives from their tour.

“We are back after a week break. We tried to use the few days of the break that FIFA had given to just bring the team together, to do a bit of team bonding. We had travelled out of town, it really helped us. We also had a practice match and there were positives that we picked from the outing,” said Kaindu.
