Warriors technical team blunder in excluding Tatenda Mukuruva from Afcon Squad?

A frustrating 1 all draw left the huge crowd at Rufaro stadium grumbling about a second minute blunder by Washington Arubi. Once a reliable goalkeeper that scooped the soccer star of the year accolade in 2011 many were confident Arubi would replicate past national team performances.

A second minute mistake which gave Guinea an easy opener cast doubt on the former dembare goal minders reliability between the posts in a match the University of Pretoria goal minder looked jittery throughout.

The warriors keeper has however since apologised for the costly mistake but the major talking point has been the decision not to stick to Tatenda Mukuruva who produced a match winning performance in Zimbabwe’s group L opener against Malawi.

The initial reason for Mukuruva’s exclusion was the goal minders participation at the African Games in Congo Brazzaville but to the surprise of those who turned up for Sunday’s Afcon encounter Mukuruva was a mere spectator.

Dynamos is reported to have refused to release Mukuruva who some feel should have been included to the warriors squad in the first instance.
