THE senior national women football team will travel to South America this weekend without three key players, but assistant coach Yohanne Chikaola said there is nothing much to worry about. — Sports Reporter
The Mighty Warriors leave for Paraguay this Saturday where they have been invited to take part in the South American Cup against the hosts, Paraguay, Chile and Brazil.
Chief strikers Rufaro Machingura, Rudo Neshamba and defender Nobuhle Majika are not part of the travelling crew.
The striking duo did not report for camp while Majika has problems with her travel documents.
This has left the team with only three recognisable strikers in Rutendo Makore, Erina Jeke and Kudakwashe Bhasopo. Chikaola believes the available trio can do the job.
“We would have wanted to travel with the strongest possible squad, but there is nothing we can do in this situation.

“Their absence will give an opportunity to the players available to prove themselves. We have very good replacements and I think we will do well with the players in camp,” said Chikaola.
