weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Rinomhota was not named in the matchday squad for the game, marking his first absence since joining the club as a free agent in November.<\/p>\n<p>According to Richardson, as quoted by the SB Nation website, the Warriors international was feeling unwell and was therefore unavailable for selection.<\/p>\n<p>However, the gaffer confirmed that the midfielder will be travelling with Zimbabwe for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations this week.<\/p>\n<p>He said after the game against Bradford: \u201cWe want Andy on the pitch, he\u2019s got a bit of illness and obviously going away, which is disappointing, but saying that he\u2019ll come back fitter, fresher and stronger to go into the latter parts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rinomhota is part of the Warriors squad for AFCON and is expected to join the rest of the team in Morocco on Tuesday.<\/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
