Tadious Manyepo in BUTARE, Rwanda
Warriors coach Baltemar Brito has made three changes to the squad that started against Rwanda for the match against Nigeria at Huye Stadium this afternoon.
Zimbabwe “host” Nigeria in Butare this afternoon in a 2026 World Cup qualifier having opened the campaign with a goalless draw against Rwanda last Wednesday.
Udinese star Jordan Zemura starts at left-back ahead of Divine Lunga who had nerves in the game against Rwanda while Andy Rinomhota will play in midfield replacing Brian Banda.
Tino Kadewere who started on the bench against Rwanda before coming on as a second half substitute also starts with Admiral Muskwe who started the match against Rwanda before hobbling off injured is still sidelined by the sprain.
Brito has retained the same 4-3-3 formation he used against Rwanda.
Warriors First 11 against Nigeria
Donovan Benard, Andrew Mbeba, Gerald Takwara, Teenage Hadebe, Jordan Zemura, Marvelous Nakamba, Marshall Munetsi, Andy Rinomhota, Walter Musona, Prince Dube, Tino Kadewere
