Midfielder Andy Rinomhota has left the Zimbabwe national team camp for a personal family issue. The football association approved his request after talks with the player and coaches, calling the move necessary for everyone involved. Zifa stated its full support for Rinomhota's choice and emphasized he remains a part of the team, expecting his return after the situation is resolved.
Rinomhota expressed deep disappointment at missing the Africa Cup of Nations, calling it a painful choice. He stated that representing his country is a major honor, but his current mental state would not allow him to perform properly. The player affirmed his continued commitment to the Warriors and said he would be cheering them on from afar.
Both Zifa and Rinomhota have asked the media and the public to respect the family's privacy during this time.
