Sheffield Wednesday defender, Sean Fusire, will not take part in this month’s friendlies with Zimbabwe.

Fusire was named in the Warriors squad for a four-nation tournament to take place in Botswana during the upcoming international break, with Owls teammate, Marvelous Nakamba, also part of Marian Marinica’s side.

It has been explained now, however, that the 20-year-old will not take part in the games in Francistown, instead remaining in England to ‘attend to some personal matters’.

In a statement published by newzimbabwe.com, ZIFA said, "The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) wishes to advise that Junior Zindoga (TS Galaxy) has been called up to the Warriors squad for the upcoming Botswana Four Nations Tournament as a replacement for Sean Fusire (Sheffield Wednesday)."

"Fusire has asked to be excused from the squad in order to attend to some personal matters. He remains fully committed to the national cause and continues to be an important part of the Warriors set- up."

Zimbabwe will play games on March 28th and 31st in Botswana, with Zambia and Malawi the other two African nations who are going to be taking part in the competition. Nakamba, who captains his nation, is likely to start the fixtures.
