HIGHLANDERS are likely to be without injured defender Peter Muduhwa when they play against FC Platinum in the ZNA Charities semi-final clash set for Barbourfields Stadium on Sunday.

Muduhwa suffered a knee injury during a friendly against Power Dynamos on Tuesday.

He was stretchered off the field in the 31st minute after straining his knee while trying to intercept a cross.

Highlanders’ secretary-general Emmett Ndlovu said Muduhwa’s injury was not career threatening, but he could be rested for Sunday’s clash as a precautionary measure.

“Initially everyone was given a scare when he was stretchered off the field on Tuesday. However, the injury is not as bad as we thought. Apparently he strained his knee ligaments and the doctors have been monitoring him since. Chances are very slim that he will be available for the match against FC Platinum, but we have to wait and see in these remaining few days. He is still being assessed by doctors and we are glad it’s not a career threatening injury. He has been hopping around under the assessment of doctors and we hope he will get well soon,” Ndlovu said.

Bosso will be facing FC Platinum in what should be an explosive encounter. The winner will face league champions Caps United in the final.

Caps United booked their place in the final after a comfortable 3-1 win over Dynamos in the semi-final about a fortnight ago.
