Zimbabwe Under-23 and highly rated England-based winger Trevor Mutero is hoping to land a contract with Stock City in the English Premier League.
It is understood that the Masvingo-born Mutero, who plays for Reading academy in the United Kingdom, is not able to travel to Zimbabwe for the South Africa match as he is sorting out his future in the UK.

His contract with the Coca Cola Championship side expired at the end of last month. He is currently is in talks with English Premiership club Stoke City for a possible move there.
Mutero's unavailability will be a blow to Young Warriors coach Friday Phiri, who is battling to overhaul the deficit from the first leg.
Phiri has been using Mutero as an impact player in the Warriors' previous matches.
Mutero has been getting rave views from England with soccer pundits even comparing him to Warriors legend Peter Ndlovu and many English premiership teams are said to be following him with interest.
The 17-year-old Mutero moved to England with his aunt Adella Mutero after the death of his father in 2004.
Bobby Wilkinson, a chief scout for Reading, recommended the hugely built midfielder to his team last year after spotting him playing for lower league side Hungerford.
