KNOWLEDGE Musona’s return to the Zimbabwe national football team after retiring in 2022 is the highlight of coach Michael Nees’ squad selection for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Benin and Nigeria.
Musona (35), who has scored 24 goals in 49 matches for the Warriors, will be rejoining the team after Nees’ long-standing wish to have him back.
However, the squad will be without captain Marvelous Nakamba, who is sidelined by injury.
The Warriors will face Benin in Durban on March 20, with tickets for the match pegged at R50 for the 6 p.m. kick-off, before Zimbabwe meets Nigeria in Uyo on March 24.
