Warriors fullbacks Onismo Bhasera and Hardlife Zvirekwi could be in for a real nightmare when they face Senegal at Stade de Francevile on Thursday.

They will have to keep an eye on Sadio Mane, who if the going gets tough through the center, resorts to attacks through the wings.

Zvirekwi says it is an honour to be in such a showdown.

“It’s a privilege for us some of the players playing in the lower leagues to rub shoulders with the big guys. It gives us an idea of where we are as players,” said Zvirekwi.

He however admits it is a mammoth task.

“It is not going to be an easy match and I never thought there was going to be any easy match in this tournament.

“So I think Senegal are going to be tough and we need to stand as a team. We will need to go there and put up a fight against them,” he said.

The Warriors were expected to hold a training under floodlights in the evening.
