TALENT Chawapiwa has handed Simba Bhora a boost as he is set to play this afternoon when they welcome Hwange in a Castle Lager Premiership match at the National Sports Stadium.
Chawapiwa was pulled out of their 1-2 loss against FC Platinum, which was their first match in the top-flight league.
He was the club’s biggest signing during the transfer window and the winger might have returned at a crucial time where his side are hoping to build on their first win of the season.
They edged Yadah Stars 1-0 last Thursday.
Ishmael Nyanhi and Kudakwashe Mangami, who were also stretchered off the pitch against Dynamos, are also at the disposal of coach Tonderai Ndiraya.
Goalkeeper Simbarashe Chinani kept his second clean-sheet to make it two out of four in this campaign.
The miners have managed four points out of a possible 12.
In contrast, Chipangano have accumulated eight and they are just two points off the lead.
They battered Green Fuel 3-0 before sharing the spoils with Sheasham 1-1.
Chipangano’s skipper, Kelly Shiandindi, said they can beat the hosts on their own turf if they stick to the coach’s script.
“This is one of our toughest fixtures, I think whenever the newly-promoted sides meet, the result can’t be predicted.
“We have not hit our best yet, the coaches are not satisfied with our performance yet and everyone is still trying to add value to this team and I’m confident that maximum points are attainable if we pay attention to detail,” he said.
