The Warriors have started trooping into camp but the technical team will have to do without the quartet of Khama Billiat, Cuthbert Malajila, Tendai Ndoro and Matthew Rusike who missed the first day of training.

Team manager Sharif Mussa told Sportszone that most of the foreign-based players like Costa Nhamoinesu, Kuda Mahachi and Marvelous Nakamba had already arrived.

They were hoping to be joined before end of day by Knoweldege Musona, Onismor Bhasera, Evans Rusike and Polish-based midfielder Andre Gwaze who is expected to make a late debut for the Warriors.

Nyasha Mushekwi whose Chinese team, Dalian Yifang, was involved in play-offs at the weekend is also expected to join the team later in the day.

However Mussa said the quartet of Billiat, Malajila, Rusike, Ndoro were not able to make it on the first day.
