Arubi set for Warriors start

WARRIORS coach Michael Nees is leaning towards handing the number one jersey to veteran goalkeeper Washington Arubi ahead of the exciting but inexperienced Marley Tavaziva in the Zimbabwe senior men’s national team Group J Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Kenya on Friday afternoon.

While Nees and his technical team that includes assistant Takesure Chiragwi and goalkeepers coach Pernell McKop have been charmed by Tavaziva’s exploits in between the sticks at training, they are set to go with Arubi to tap into his vast experience.

NewsDay Sport has learnt that Tavaziva has been impressive in training giving Arubi and Donovan Bernard a good run for their money.
