Zimbabwe's national soccer team is dealing with absolute chaos heading into their Afcon prep, with head coach Marian Marinica trying to keep things chill while players keep mysteriously dropping out. Fans are going nuts on social media, claiming perfectly healthy guys are getting cut under fake injury excuses, and some people think powerful groups are forcing their preferred players into the roster instead. FIFA made things worse by pushing back foreign-based player releases by a week, which means the squad might be missing key guys until the very end of training camp.
The soccer association had to drop a whole medical report to calm everyone down after the withdrawals got out of hand, explaining they're doing proper scans and fitness tests on everyone. Zimbabwe landed in a brutal group with South Africa, Egypt, and Angola for the tournament, so the pressure is already sky-high without all this behind-the-scenes mess.
