Josta omitted from Chan squad

CAPS midfielder Joel “Josta” Ngodzo was the surprise omission from the Warriors’ 32-member squad announced by coach Sunday Chidzambga yesterday for the 2020 African Nations Championship (Chan) qualifier against Mauritius at the weekend.

Ngodzo is arguably the league’s best player so far, and many had expected him to make the Chan squad, a tournament reserved exclusively for locally-based players.

The former Highlanders man was in sparkling form for the Green Machine in the Harare Derby against rivals Dynamos on Sunday, a fine performance he capped with a spectacular goal for his side in the 1-1 draw.
