SCOTTLAND FC will go into Sunday’s blockbuster clash against Highlanders at Rufaro Stadium without their star forward Khama Billiat, who has been sidelined through injury.
Coach Tonderayi Ndiraya confirmed that both Billiat and teammate Emmanuel Saidi have been ruled out of the high-stakes Premier Soccer League match, dealing a huge blow to the newly promoted side’s attacking options.
“Unfortunately, Khama and Saidi won’t be available for selection. They are still recovering from their injuries and we don’t want to rush them,” said Ndiraya.
Meanwhile, it’s a mixed bag in the Highlanders camp. The Bulawayo giants are receiving a welcome boost with the return of key players Mafios Chihweta, Tendai Muvuti, Achford Faira, and Marlvin Hativagoni, all of whom resumed full training this week.
However, interim coach Try Ncube will have to do without suspended duo Arthur Ndlovu and Mason Mushore.
The big Bosso vs Scottland showdown headlines this weekend’s PSL action as the title race intensifies and the newcomers aim to upset the traditional giants.
