Warriors coach Michael Nees says he is facing an intriguing selection dilemma for Friday's Africa Cup of Nations Group J qualifier against Kenya.
The match set for the Mandela National Stadium in Kampala, Uganda, kicks off at 3pm Zimbabwe time.
Nees was appointed a fortnight ago with a mandate to lead the team to the Afcon finals in Morocco next year.
The German national says it is not an easy task picking the starting eleven considering the huge talent that is at his disposal.
Speaking at a pre-match press conference held at the match venue yesterday, Nees refused to give away much information on his team selection, but the team's last training session gave a hint on how he is going to set up his men for the Harambee Stars clash.
The returning Khama Billiat, a very popular figure with locals here in Kampala, is likely to partner Tawanda Chirewa in a dream combination in midfield.

"We have a very good group of players and we will see tomorrow on the pitch (as to who is going to start) but I can tell you everybody can make an impact. It will be a very difficult job for me tomorrow (to select the first 11). People say it's a nice job for a coach, I don't think so. It's really difficult because everybody is giving his best at training, showing great attitude but only 11 can start. The others can make an impact from the bench. There is also a second game (against Cameroon on Tuesday) to come so we need everybody. We don't know what we will happen in the game like injuries and suspension so everybody should be ready and we will see in the course of the two games who will get minutes," Nees said.
While he promised to give all the players in the squad a chance, he said the foreign based players will probably get preferred for this immediate challenge.
From the last session, it appears Billiat, Walter Musona and Godknows Murwira are the only local based players who will start on Friday.
"Of course when you call someone from Europe you don't want to sit five or six players on the bench. It doesn't make any sense," Nees argued.
He is worried about the threat posed by Kenya.
"Their coach and the players have been working for together for sometime so there is a lot of understanding in the squad. The players know how the coach wants them to play. We analyzed and studied them and we can predict how they will play. But we have a little more question marks for them than they are with us."
Warriors probable XI
Washington Arubi, Munashe Garananga, Godknows Murwira, Gerald Takwara, Jordan Zemura, Marshall Munetsi, Andy Rinomhota, Walter Musona, Khama Billiat, Tawanda Chirewa, Prince Dube.
