DYNAMOS say they have allowed their inform striker Ntouba Epoupa to visit Cameroon before the league matches resume.
The Cameroonian striker has been the leading light at Dynamos as the former champions made a remarkable recovery from a poor start.
It was largely expected that the player would use the break to go for trials but club president Kenny Mubaiwa said he had opted to go back to his country briefly.
"I understand he is homesick and we have allowed him to go back to Cameroon. He will be back after a week or so.
"I'm informed it is not trials but just an ordinary visit and he needed it," Mubaiwa said.
It is not yet very clear if the player will be able to return in time for the FC Platinum game at Mandava on July 26.
Only one rescheduled game between Bulawayo City and CAPS United will be played over the weekend in Bulawayo.
DeMbare will be hoping to have their man back when they face another title favourite FC Platinum.
They will welcome back players on national duty and Coach Lloyd Mutasa who has been with the national team at Cosafa Castle Cup and CHAN qualifier.
In Mutasa's absence, DeMbare have managed to win two games and drawn one. That performance has ensured that they remain among the top four teams going into the second half of the season.
