DYNAMOS’ exit from the Chibuku Super Cup could turn out to be a blessing in disguise for the Glamour Boys, their manager Richard Chihoro thinks.

DeMbare were knocked out by Bulawayo City in the round of 16 and will not be part of the Chibuku proceedings when the quarterfinals begin on Saturday.

And Chihoro believes the rest will provide their injured players with a chance to recover ahead of a grueling PSL home run.

Obey Mwerahari, Godfrey Mukambi, Emmanuel Mandiranga, Denver Mukamba, Carlos Rusere and Masimba Mambare are all recovering from injuries.

Lloyd Mutasa is also trying to manage his players and on Thursday he rested skipper Ocean Mushure, Cleopas Kapupurika and Marshal Machazane from training.

“Of course, it was disappointing to be eliminated at the first stage (from the Chibuku Cup). But somehow it was a blessing in disguise.

“We are in the championship race and games have been coming thick and fast. I think we are feeling the pinch because of fatigue and injuries to some of our players,” said Chihoro.

The Dynamos manager is confident most of his players will have recovered by the time DeMbare play their next league game away at ZPC Kariba.
