The new head coach for the Zimbabwe national team, Norman Mapeza has finalised his squad for the clash against Ghana in October.

Next month, the Warriors will look to get back on track in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers when they face the Black Stars in a double-header encounter.

It will be the first real test for the new head coach who has come in to replace the sacked Zdrazko Lugarusic.

According to team manager Wellington Mpandare, coach Norman Mapeza has already sent out invitations to players and knows the squad he will be using for the two matches against Ghana.

“The coach has already named the players who will be part of the Warriors team to play against Ghana, in the back-to-back ties, next month.

“We have already dispatched letters to the concerned clubs where the players ply their trade.

“The squad will be announced in the coming days after the necessary confirmations are completed.

“We are hoping that all the players, who have been chosen by the coach, will travel for the crucial fixtures,” Mpandare was quoted as saying by the Herald.

Zimbabwe will play as guests to Ghana on Saturday, October 9, before hosting the return leg in Harare on Tuesday, October 12.
