Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Warriors goalkeeper Martin Mapisa said he will be flying home for the Warriors\u2019 two Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Botswana and Zambia later this month.<\/p>\n

Mapisa (22), who plays for Zamora CF in the Spanish Segunda Division B, told The Herald on Thursday that he was proud to be part of the Warriors squad. He said:<\/p>\n

I feel great to be on that Warriors list, for the two matches against Botswana and Zambia.<\/p>\n

I think that shows I\u2019m doing well, where I am, and it\u2019s another challenge again, I have to face, to help my country to qualify for the AFCON finals. So, I\u2019m so proud to be in that squad, to honest.<\/p>\n

My team can release me for national duty, this time around, without any problem, despite the travel restrictions, which are in place, due to the coronavirus outbreak in Europe and throughout the world.<\/p>\n

Mapisa has recorded four clean sheets in the nine league and cup games he has played so far this season.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the other goalkeepers in the 38-man squad are Talbert Shumba, who is based in Zambia, United States-based Tatenda Mkuruva and Ariel Sibanda of Highlanders.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe take on Botswana and Zambia on March 25 and 29, respectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
