The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) has confirmed that Andy Rinomhota is expected to return to the Warriors squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) once he attends to a family emergency.
Rinomhota announced on Friday evening that he is withdrawing from the national team camp to attend to the matter.
The Reading midfielder had only joined his teammates in Morocco on Wednesday following a late release by his club, having missed the two-week camp held in Harare.
In a statement, ZIFA said:
“The Zimbabwe Football Association advises that Zimbabwe Men’s National Team player, Andy Rinomhota, requested to be released from the current Warriors camp to attend to a personal family matter.
“Following discussions with the player, the technical team and the Association agreed to the request in the best interests of all parties. ZIFA respects and supports the player’s decision and appreciates the professional manner in which the matter was handled.
“Andy Rinomhota remains part of the national team setup, and the Association looks forward to his return once the matter has been resolved.
“The Zimbabwe Football Association kindly requests that the privacy of the player and his family be respected during this period.”
