adminsuspension to Musharu, defender Morgan Mungombe and the club’s top goal scorer Ishmael Lawe who are being investigated for the for their roles in last week’s strike.
Monomotapa players boycotted training on Tuesday and Wednesday as the club was preparing for the league match against Harare City, which they lost 3-1 at Rufaro on Thursday.
Assistant coach Nkululeko Dhlamini yesterday confirmed all was not well in the camp but insisted that Monoz are aiming to put their problems behind them as they seek a turn-around of fortunes on the field of play.
The 2008 champions are going through a lean spell this year and are currently sitting fourth from the bottom of the table with 13 points from 14 games.
Monoz, however, have s a game in hand and a win against Motor Action today might help raise the spirits ahead of their scheduled clash with the same opponents in the BancABC Sup8r Cup this weekend.
In fact the Mighty Bulls and Monoz are set to clash on three successive two of them in the league.
The sides have been lined up to clash in three competitive matches in succession as they are set to meet again in the return leg of the league competition next week.
Dhlamini however said they will have to do without their inspirational skipper while Lawe who has banged in six goals this season will also be missed.
“I have been advised by the chairman that there are three players who have been handed letters of suspension while investigations are going on for the labour unrest that hit the club last week.
“It means these guys will not be available for selection and we will have to do with the material that we have. It’s bad we are coming from a defeat in our last match but still we are looking forward to the next game.
“It’s important that we collect maximum point in this match because if you look at the log table our position is not that good,” said Dhlamini.
Monomotapa however, still have players like Obey Mwerahari, Zvikomborero Bizeki, Charles Rukwanhi, and their talisman Ronald Chitiyo available for selection.
But coach Biggie Zuze might not be available for the match as he is currently attending a Caf B Licence coaching course.
Their opponents Motor Action have also been struggling this year and have since dropped to 15th on the log table following their 0-0 home draw against FC Platinum in their last outing.
