JOHANNESBURG Injury-hit Benjani Mwaruwari failed to feature in the Vodacom Challenge final when thousands of both South African and Zimbabwean soccer fans were eagerly waiting to see him "live" in action. (Pictured: Benjani Mwaruwari)Instead, it was Togolese forward, Emmanuel Adebayor, who took over the Zimbabwean captain’s position in the Manchester City colours in an encounter strongly contested at Loftus Stadium in Pretoria on Saturday.Adebayor was signed last week from Arsenal, and his arrival at Manchester City appears to be posing a huge threat to Mwaruwari’s selection in the first 11 starting line.
Already Mark Hughes, the Manchester City manager, had signed other big names such
as Santana Cruiz and Robinho to play as wingers while Adebayor will be battling it out with Mwaruwari for the central striking position.
Hughes insisted at a press conference that he had big plans with the Zimbabwe international forward.
