Mighty Warriors coach Shadreck Mlauzi gets a chance to test the fringes in Sunday’s away international friendly against Banyana Banyana.

This becomes his sides first step in preparation for the Olympic Games and Tembisa’s Makhulong Stadium in Johannesburg will test the two African side who have both qualified for the quadrennial summer Games set for Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Under pressure to qualify for both the Olympic Games and the Africa Women Cup of Nations, Mlauzi could not “temper with the team” but bow is the time for experiment.

“It’s yet another chance to test different players, work on other combinations yet remaining competitive. It’s a chance to improve our match fitness really.

“My technical team came into office with the Cameroon assignment being our immediate task, which was an extremely important assignment. So we could not temper with the team. It was the same for the Africa Nations Cup where we could not test the players. But if given friendly matches within a training camp it’s workable,” said Mlauzi.

The Mighty Warriors coach, however, expressed concern over injuries as their number one goalkeeper, Chido Dzingirai was forced to watch the training session from the sidelines because of a knee injury. While Rudo Neshamba had a light training as she is still to recover from a persistent knee injury also.

“We have concerns just like we appealed earlier on, we would have wanted them to be treated. The knee is a sensitive area, it needs proper care and medication for the player to heal and get back to full fitness. So we are giving them all the time they need to heal,” said Mlauzi.
