Chipezeze falls out of favour
BY TAWANDA TAFIRENYIKA
WARRIORS’ number one goalkeeper Elvis Chipezeze has lost his place at his South African club Baroka in a development that could affect his international career.
Since featuring in the 1-1 draw against Golden Arrows on November 4, the former Chicken Inn goal minder has been restricted to the bench in the last four matches.
Before falling out of favour with the coaches, he had played six games since September 22 and conceded nine goals including four in the defeat to Super Sport United.
Chipezeze was picked to keep goal for the Warriors when they travelled to Algeria for the first match of the back-to-back 2021 African Cup of Nations qualifier after United States based goalkeeper Tatenda Mukuruva, who kept goal at the 2017 African Cup of Nations finals in Gabon, failed to turn up due to COVID-19 restrictions.

FORMER Dynamos midfielder Denver Mukamba has been included in the Warriors provisional squad for next month’s African Nations Championships (CHAN) in Cameroon.
This is after the former soccer star of the year impressed national team coach Zdravko Logarusic during a preparatory match in Harare on Friday.
Mukamba, who is now at Ngezi Platinum, was part of the team which played in a friendly match against the locally-based Warriors at Ellis Robbins School as the team intensifies its preparations for the continental tournament to be held in Cameroon.
The highly talented but unsettled midfielder seized the opportunity after putting on a brilliant individual performance which earned him a late call-up to the now 35-man provisional squad for the CHAN tournament.
