Here are the Afcon updates:
Jordan Zemura
The England-based left back is on his way to Cameroon and will join the team on Tuesday night.
The Zimbabwe Football Association Tweeted, “Jordan Zemura arrives in Cameroon tonight. He is expected in Bana tomorrow.”
And he tweeted “Can’t wait to join the boys, and represent my Zimbabwe. 2 important games to get out the group everything is possible. #263”
He had delayed arriving in Cameroon because of a Covid-19 outbreak at he club. He will be in contention to play against Malawi on Friday.

What Mapeza said
After the heartbreaking 1-0 loss to Senegal on day one, coach Norman Mapeza said, “
Credit goes to my boys. I think we played very well. Nobody gave us a chance against a quality team like Senegal. If you look at the names in their squad, most of their guys are playing for top European clubs.
I think we had some moments where we controlled the game. Luck wasn’t on our side. Credit to my boys, I think they worked their socks off. Now we focus on our next game against Malawi”.
He went on to say, ” It’s unfortunate we have a 23-man squad. I should give credit to those guys which I selected today. We have got guys who came from Europe and they only joined the squad with 5 days to go, but the rest of those guys [trained together] for about 10 days. So, I don’t think I made any wrong decision in selecting those guys who started today. I think they did well..”
Injuries
Captain Knowledge Musona and Kundai Benyu were stretchered off with injuries in the Senegal match. There is no update on that yet.
