However, Warriors head coach Marian Marinica has opted not to include him in the latest selection.<\/p>\n<p>Several other players are also missing from the squad due to injuries. These include Brendan Galloway of Plymouth Argyle, Barnsley\u2019s Tawanda Chirewa and Udinese defender Jordan Zemura.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Marinica has introduced three new faces to the national team setup. Goalkeeper Future Sibanda of ZPC Kariba, Ipswich Town player Corbin Mthunzi and Panashe Makwiramiti from Welsh Premier League side Haverfordwest County have all received their first senior call-ups.<\/p>\n<p>Two players have also made their return to the squad after previous absences.
