The Zimbabwean international recently expressed happiness at managing to come back before close of the season. “It feels good to be back in training and after the few training sessions I have had, I did not feel any discomfort and I hope to be back in action soon,” he said.
The quick return allayed initial fears that the injury would rule Rusike out of action for the rest of the season. “The Medical Team has been on top of their game as always and we are all pleased with the progress,” said Rusike, who missed the Warriors’ 1-2 loss to Egypt in a World Cup qualifier in March owing to the injury.
“Injuries are part of football. We are fortunate to have such depth in the squad and if a player is out there are always options for the Technical Team. We have been unlucky with injuries since the start of the season but the team has soldiered on and continues to do that.”
