SPEED merchant Marshal Mudehwe will be back at Mandava Stadium this Saturday, hoping to fire Manica Diamonds to a win against his former club, FC Platinum as the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League resumes following a two-week’s break.

Mudehwe helped the miners win two league titles and two Castle Challenge Cups before he crossed the floor to the Luke Masomere-coached side at the beginning of the season.
He had become a bit-part player last season, owing to injuries and a dip in form and decided to move and seek more game time. He said the clash with his former paymasters bears much significance in resuscitating his career.
“I made a name at FC Platinum and I am here because they moulded me to the player I am, so the match we are going to play against them is very important to me,” Mudehwe said.
“I don’t know if I will be selected into the team to play, but it will be a great honour for me. And like in any game, we will target maximum points. I hope we will do our best to collect maximum points against the champions.”
The 25-year-old has three goals to his name since he joined Manica Diamonds and will be hoping he can be as productive against the Norman Mapeza-coached side.
Wisdom Mutasa will also be facing his former bosses who he left for Slovakian side SK Senec together with Walter Musona back in 2015.
