AFCON would have even been more significant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had an injury recently, but my club, Wolves, communicated with the association that I was recovering well and even offered medical support to ensure that I could participate at the AFCON. Unfortunately, I received no follow-up communication, and decisions were made without clarity-speculation which wasn\u2019t the case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile I\u2019m hurt, my unwavering support for the national team remains strong. I respect the coach\u2019s decisions and stand behind the boys wholeheartedly. I will always be ready to defend the nation I love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related Posts<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- \n\n<footer class=\"entry-footer\">\n\t\t<span class=\"cat-links\">Posted in Local<\/span><span class=\"tags-links\">Tagged Marshall Munetsi, Warriors<\/span>\t<\/footer>\n\n -->\n<\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Marshall #Munetsi #suggests #hidden #agenda #Warriors #AFCON #omission #explosive #statement<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marshall Munetsi has suggested a hidden agenda in his omission from the Warriors squad in an explosive statement.
