Khama Billiat is a serious doubt for Zimbabwe’s 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifying opener against Somalia this week, and he’s but one of many injuries littering rosters.
The Kaizer Chiefs forward picked up a pelvic injury in the club’s 2-1 win away to Cape Town City last week, and Chiefs’ front office is not being overly verbose about it: “He has had a scan done and it is unclear how long he needs to recover at this stage.”
While Chiefs may not worry too much about Billiat’s impending national match,…

Eight years after surrendering their WAFU Cup of Nations title in a bewildering upset at home to Togo, Nigeria will get a chance to exact some measure of revenge against Les Aigles.
The teams were drawn to face each other early in this year’s tournament, in a revised format that will see teams face each other in a high stakes knockout schedule.
Wednesday’s draw in Dakar, Senegal, decided the first eight fixtures for the first phase of knockout matches, with the winners of those matches progressing…

DR Congo advanced into the African Nations Cup quarterfinals as Group C winners after triumphing 3-1 against a Togo outfit whose campaign in Gabon is now at an end.
The Leopards took the lead in the 29th minute through Junior Kabananga’s third goal of the tournament, with Ndombe Mubele then adding a delightful finish nine minutes after the break.
Togo’s Kodjo Fo-Doh Laba pulled a goal back 15 minutes later before fellow substitute Paul-Jose M’Poku’s fine free kick wrapped things up for Florent Ibenge’s…

Togo lost to Morocco on Friday at the African Nations Cup.
PORT-GENTIL, Gabon — Togo coach Claude le Roy is not sure if veteran goalkeeper Kossi Agassa will play in a crucial game at the African Nations Cup after his house in Lome was vandalised by supporters who blamed him for a loss.
Agassa was “emotionally affected” by the news and will be allowed to skip Togo’s final group match against Congo in Gabon on Tuesday if he wishes, Le Roy said. Togo’s hopes of qualifying for the quarterfinals rest on the game.
Agassa’s home in the Togolese capital was placed…

Morocco capitalised on a poor goalkeeping performance from Kossi Agassa to beat Togo 3-1 in Group C at the African Nations Cup.
The Lions, who secured their first points of the competition having lost to DR Congo in their opener, were behind early on after Mathieu Dossevi’s brilliant opener.
However, they were level after 14 minutes as Agassa failed to collect a routine corner, leaving Aziz Bouhaddouz to head in, before Romain Saiss added a second.
Agassa then failed to keep out a speculative long-range…

ESPN FC’s Colin Udoh previews the African Cup of Nations and explains why he supports a 48-team World Cup.
GABON — Emmanuel Adebayor might only have played a handful of games since last season but he has lost none of his brash confidence and, not for the first time, seems to be revelling in the role of spoiler.
At 32, and without a club since departing Crystal Palace in May, Adebayor understandably huffed and puffed his way through the latter stages of Togo’s opening Group C game at the African Nations Cup, but a 0-0 draw with the holders Ivory Coast means the underdogs emerged as the moral victors.
Adebayor…
