WARRIORS striker Prince Dube has returned to training at Tanzanian club Azam FC after recovering from a broken ulna bone on his left arm.
The free-scoring 23-year-old Zimbabwe international has been sidelined since suffering the fracture in a league match between his club Azam and Young Africans in the Tanzanian Vodacom Premier League in November last year.
Dube underwent a successful operation on his forearm at the beginning of December in Cape Town, South Africa.
Prior to the injury the former Highlanders forward had begun his career in Tanzania in blistering form, with six goals in as many matches and was voted the Vodacom Tanzania Mainland Premier League Player of the Month for September.
Mighty Warriors Still Hold Olympics Distinction
January 12, 2021
THEY wrote their own piece of history just over four years ago when they made their maiden appearance at the Olympic Games in Brazil.
The Mighty Warriors still hold the distinction of being the first team from Zimbabwe to qualify for a global football showcase.
They fought against all odds to find themselves at the final tournament at the 2016 Games and they were one of the major highlights for Olympics during those Games considering the road they walked to achieve the ultimate goal.
Sadly, it was a different and disappointing story altogether for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics qualifiers when the problems that have over the years haunted women’s football in this country manifested in an unexpected way.
“We have come to do the same task of seeking victory and we are ready to get the win and qualify,” Mapeza told reporters at Julius Nyerere Airport.
“There is nothing else we need, all we know is our opponents are psychologically prepared and we know they are a tough team to play at home, we respect them but we are not afraid of them.
“We got a 1-0 win back home, we should have scored more but even the slim advantage is good for us because we will strive to score goals away, we will push them and the more they move forward, we have the chance to kill them off on counter-attacks.”
