Warriors coach Valinhos has rung a few changes from the squad that faced Namibia in the African Nations Championship last Sunday for the return leg in Windhoek next weekend.

Zimbabwe were held to a disappointing 0-0 draw at Gwanzura last Sunday in the first leg of the newly-introduced Caf competition.

In a squad released by the national teams' general manager Sharif Mussa yesterday, the Warriors technical team axed Dynamos big forward Admire Dzukamanja and Kiglon captain Tawanda Nyamandwe. Mussa said players based outside Harare are expected to arrive in camp tomorrow night while those from the capital should check in by 11am on Monday. Pride Tarirenyika, who was an unused substitute - has also been dropped. Mussa pointed out that the technical team maybe reviewing the composition of the squad after the first training session.

"So far we have 21 players who have been considered for training for the game against Namibia in Windhoek. "This is what we have for now but the coach maybe making one or two additions depending with what he would have seen from the Premiership games over this weekend," he said. Valinhos is using the African Nations Championships assignments against Namibia to assess the locally-based players he would need to fuse with the foreign-based professionals for the 2010 World Cup and Nations Cup qualifiers.

"After the Namibia game, the coach will announce the locally based players and the foreign professionals he would like in camp for the game in Conakry and for the month long hectic fixtures in June. I hope that the squad will be getting into camp on May 25 until we leave for Guinea," said Mussa.
