Zimbabwe lost three players from their AFCON squad after medical checks showed Tymon Machope, Xolani Ndlovu, and Andrew Mbeba were dealing with injuries. ZIFA sent them home early as a safety measure to protect their health long term, and the association thanked them while wishing them a quick recovery.
Local players started showing up to camp over the weekend, and the coaching staff is ramping up training ahead of the tournament. The final 23-player roster gets announced within the next few days since CAF rules require squads to be locked in at least ten days before kickoff.
People online had mixed takes on the releases. Some commenters said way more players should get cut, while others roasted specific selections and questioned why certain guys even made the provisional list in the first place.
