WHILE a dark cloud hangs over the availability of many Euro-based members of the Warriors, for this month’s AFCON qualifiers, goalkeeper, Martin “Neur” Mapisa, will be available.
Warriors coach, Zdravko Logarusic, recently named a bloated 38-man squad, which is mainly composed of foreign-based players, dotted around the globe, for the two qualifiers against Botswana and Zambia.
And, young goalkeeper, Mapisa, is among the players in this squad.
There were fears that, just like the other Euro-based players, he might not make it for these two make-or-break ties, due to travel restrictions, imposed by a number of countries. The Covid-19 restrictions have also seen some European clubs barring players from travelling for international duty.
