Zimbabwe winger Talent Chawapiwa believes the Warriors’ formidable fire power can ‘punish’ Liberia in their own backyard when the two teams clash in Sunday’s 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

France-based attacker Tinotenda Kadewere’s return to full fitness after four months out with a knee complaint should prove a great lift for Zimbabwe as they close in on a ticket to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon next year.
The Warriors visit Liberia on Sunday needing victory to seal a second consecutive AFCON qualification.
A draw could even see them through if Congo-Brazzaville lose to the Democratic Republic of Congo in the other Group G encounter.

It’s a measure of the massive progress Zimbabwe prospect Macauley Bonne has made over the last year that Leyton Orient had to fend off a host of determined suitors during the close season to retain the striker’s services.
In July last year, Bonne’s development seemed to be stagnating, if not altogether regressing, as he adjusted his ambitions after finding the going tough at Colchester United, now in League Two.

Zimbabwe have been boosted by the return of former captain Willard Katsande and France-based attacker Tino Kadewere ahead of the trip to Liberia next month.
