The Warriors coach Callisto Pasuwa declined to name his final 18-man squad to face Malawi until Sunday morning.
Pasuwa was expected to name his final 18 on Saturday (today) but admitted he was spoilt for choice and would name his starting 11 on Sunday morning after assessing his players overnight.
The full complement of the Warriors who are in camp trained at the giant stadium this Saturday morning with the technical team focusing light training and set pieces and dead ball situations.
Pasuwa addressed the players after the session where he stressed the importance of the match and need to guard against complacency and over-confidence.
The Warriors gaffer said the Flames team had prepared well despite a poor start to their campaign for the 2017 African Cup of Nations finals in Gabon and should not be disregarded as underdogs despite their higher ranking.
Pasuwa urged Zimbabweans to come in numbers to support the Warriors on Sunday.
Zimbabwe host Malawi with confidence after winning the first leg in Blantyre 2-1.
Zimbabwe lead the AFCON group with eight points, and are looking for nothing less than a win against Malawi to keep their hopes of qualifying for the 2017 finals alive.
Guinea and Swaziland are tie in second place on five points each and will also battle it out too in Mbabane on Sunday.
Malawi have only two points despite being ranked higher than Zimbabwe on the latest FIFA rankings and are currently anchored at the bottom of the Group L standings.
