Zimpapers Sports Hub

THE Warriors squad has undergone a few changes ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifier against Benin, scheduled for September 5 in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.

Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Sean Fusire has been dropped and replaced by Reading’s Tivonge Rushesha.

In another change, German-based midfielder Jonah Fabisch will miss out after failing to recover from a concussion sustained last week. His place has been taken by striker Tymon Machope.

Meanwhile, the locally based contingent — Walter Musona, Godknows Murwira, Emmanuel Jalai, Martin Mapisa and Terrence Dzvukamanja — along with the coaching staff, arrived in Abidjan on Sunday.

Knowledge Musona and the South Africa-based players are expected to land in West Africa today, while Europe-based stars will fly directly to Abidjan from their clubs.
