Zimbabwe Warriors midfielder Tafadzwa Kutinyu has been ruled out of the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) finals after suffering a muscle strain.
The 25-year-old former Azam FC player, who has just sealed a move to Guinea's side Horoya, was expected to provide options in the midfield for the Warriors but that will not be the case.
Team manager Wellington Mpandre has been quoted by The Herald Newspaper saying Zimbabwe will now have to replace him.
“It’s sad that we have to announce that Kutinyu will not be able to play at the tournament because of an injury he suffered recently in one of the games we played coming here.
