WARRIORS captain Willard Katsande has hinted that he is ready to quit international football and concentrate on club football.

Katsande made a statement to such effect after Zimbabwe's 4-2 defeat to Tunisia at Stade de lÁmitie here in Libreville Monday night.

That defeat ensured that the Warriors ended fourth in group B of the 2017 AFCON finals in Gabon, with just a point.

Zimbabwe and Algeria were knocked out while Tunisia and Senegal go through to the quarterfinals.

""For me personally, it was a good experience. I feel it is now time for the youngsters. I feel I need to give way to the youngsters to carry the team forward.

Whenever I will be needed, I'm gonna give my assistance. For now I feel that what is needed is fresh blood to take on the future challenges," said Katsande.

The Warriors managed a 2-2 draw against Algeria, were brushed aside 2-0 by Tunisia before being outclassed by Tunisia.

The Kaizer Chiefs hardman said they should have avoided conceding goals early.

"When you concede goals in those critical stages of the match, you are bound to lose the game," he said.
