The captain of the senior national team of Zimbabwe Marvelous Nakamba says he won’t be available for the team when they take on Benin Republic and Nigeria respectively in the world cup qualifiers, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Despite the fact that he has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury by his English Championship side Luton, he was surprisingly named in the list of players for both games as they go in search of ways to bring life back to their world cup campaign.
Bottom of the group with just two points from 4 games, coach of the team Michael Nees has now accepted that Nakamba won’t be available, and has named a replacement in Richard Hachiro after speaking with the 31 year old.
Nakamba made it clear to Nees that he won’t risk his rehabilitation process to be with the team during the games to motivate them. He however confirmed that he will continue to play for the team in the future.
