Bosso likely to play Hwange without 7 senior players

HIGHLANDERS are likely to face tricky Hwange in a Castle Lager Premiership match set for Barbourfields Stadium on Sunday without seven senior players at a time the team desperately needs maximum points.

Bosso, who are third on the log standings and trail leaders Harare City by three points, are fretting  over the availability of defenders Lawson Nkomo, Honest Moyo, midfielders Bhekimpilo Ncube and Hillary Madzivanyika who are all nursing injuries while the ever committed central defender and skipper Innocent Mapuranga lost his brother in a car accident.

Goalkeeper Munyaradzi Diya and Masimba Mambare are away with the Zimbabwe senior national soccer  team that qualified for the Cosafa Castle Cup final in Zambia in which they meet the hosts tomorrow.

While Nkomo and Moyo have not been regulars for Highlanders, their presence at training gives the coach wide choices and confidence when selecting his final team.

Bosso have gone for five games without a victory in all competitions with their last win being a 1-0 defeat of coalminers Hwange way back on 2 June.
