Michael Nees wants fresh players to start Friday's game against Burkina Faso. The Warriors coach picked several newcomers and brought back others who missed recent matches. Sean Fusire from Sheffield Wednesday joins Mason Mushore and Mthokozisi Msebe as first-time selections. Elvis Chipezeze returns as goalkeeper alongside midfielder Jonah Fabisch from Germany. Tinotenda Kadewere and Bill Antonio rejoin the squad after recovering from injuries.
The German manager expects new faces will appear in his starting team for the friendly match. Nees says Burkina Faso ranks higher than Zimbabwe and presents a tough challenge. The coach aims to win but also wants to test how new players handle international football. He plans to help newcomers adapt to the team's playing methods during the Morocco trip.
Friday's match happens at Stade El Bachir stadium near Casablanca at 6 PM Central Africa Time. Zimbabwe stays close to the venue during their training camp. The team faces Niger four days later for their second friendly game. Both matches help prepare players for future competitive tournaments.
