Sheffield Wednesday pair secure international call for four-nation tournament
Sheffield Wednesday duo, Sean Fusire and Marvelous Nakamba, will head to Botswana later this month to join up with the Zimbabwean national team.
The call-up comes as no surprise with both having been part of the African Cup of Nations squad earlier this year, but is does offer another chance for the pair to show what they’ve got in their lockers at international level.
In Nakamba’s case it’ll be a welcome opportunity for more minutes having been on the periphery at Wednesday since joining the Owls, while Fusire will be desperate to try and stake his claim for a regular spot in Marian Marinica’s side.
The Warriors will games on March 28th and 31st in Francistown, Botswana, with Zambia and Malawi the other two African nations who are going to be taking part.
