Zimbabwe's representatives in the CAF Champions League, Dynamos are set to get a fair measure of where they stand when they lock horns with South African outfit, Mamelodi Sundowns this Sunday.
With a player crisis threatening to derail Dembare's preparations for Africa's elite club competition, the Harare giants' technical department will assess available personnel when they clash with Sundowns in a friendly encounter slated for Rufaro Stadium this Sunday.
With media reports highlighting a looming striker crisis at the Glamour Boy, the technical team has surprisingly resorted to barring the media from its training sessions.
Despite frantic efforts to gain access to Dembare's morning workout, the News crew was locked out of the team's training session at Zimphos training facility and had to resort to unorthodox means of filming.
Despite prior communication with Team Manager, Richard Chihoro, Dembare's technical team remained firm on their decision of a media blackout.
Even the intervention of club chairman, Kenny Mubaiwa could not make the technical team of Callisto Pasuwa and his assistant Tonderai Ndiraya budge.
Some analysts said the hostile environment exposes the need to transform local football clubs into professional outfits that value the importance of communications departments.
