TELONE are set to be without four key players when they travel to Chisumbanje to face Green Fuel on Saturday.
The two sides clash in a Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match at the Green Fuel arena.
However, the Gweru side had four players on international duty during the international break.
The trio of Allan Chapinduka, Calvin Chigara and Simbarashe Takaedza were with the emerging warriors side at the COSAFA Cup tournament in South Africa.
Striker, Tawanda Macheke was with the senior national team in Morroco.
As of Thursday afternoon, TelOne coach, Hebert Maruwa, confirmed that the quartet had not returned back at the club.
Although the last batch of the warriors arrived in the country yesterday, the four are unlikely to make the trip to Chisumbanje.
Additionally, the Wifi boys will be without the diminutive Leeroy Murape, who is out injured.
“I’m happy that we are back in action,” Maruwa told The Echo Sports.
“The break gave us time for injured players to recover, but playing Green Fuel away from home is not going to be easy, it is always a difficult match.”
TelOne have struggled away from home and are yet to win outside Gweru.
Their only victory away from home was the 1-0 win over Kwekwe United at Bata stadium.
“The boys are psyched up, we need to make sure we win our second away match,” Maruwa said.
“Although the last time we won it was in Gweru at Bata stadium, we have to fight to secure maximum points.”
