ZIMBABWEAN striker Nyasha Mushekwi has recovered from an injury that has kept him out of competitive action for HIS Blegianside KV Oostende since September 20. Mushekwi, who is on loan at the Belgian club from Mamelodi Sundowns, is expected to make a return to action this weekend. The 26-year-old’s agent, Ralph Nkomo, spoke to KickOff on his recovery. “He bruised his foot while training by himself and has been out of action since last month. It was not very serious, but we had to take precautions,” Nkomo said. Nkomo added that Mushekwi is adjusting well to life in Europe. “Ovidy Karuru (a fellow Zimbabwe international) is just 30 minutes away from where Nyasha is staying so he is not lonely,” Nkomo said. “He has settled really well to the lifestyle in Europe. Remember how he scored a goal when the season started? “Winter is coming up, but I do not think it will be difficult for him to adjust because I went for trials in Belgium with him during the winter.” Meanwhile, South Africa-based Zimbabwean players will line up for their respective teams this weekend in the Telkom Knockout Cup with the Kaizer Chiefs quartet of striker Knowledge Musona, midfielder Willard Katsande, forwards Mathew Rusike and Kingstone Nkatha set for a battle against struggling Polokwane City. A battle of Zimbabwean stars is in store as Mamelodi Sundowns, home to striker Cuthbert Malajila and forward Khama Billiat face off Rodreck Mutuma’s Bloemfontein Celtic. Bidvest Wits will be looking to make an improved assault in a cup competition when they take on Golden Arrows in the Telkom Knockout last 16 clash at the Bidvest Stadium today. Wits is home to Zimbabweans Denver Mukamba, Onismor Bhasera, Benjani Mwaruwari, Tinashe Nengomasha and Thomas Sweswe who will be out through injury. CM
