Musona makes Team of the Week

Kaizer Chiefs supporters, Zimbabweans and Southern Africans have something to smile about when it comes to Saudi Arabia.

Amakhosi legend Knowledge Musona, a star of The Warriors, was recently named in the Saudi Pro League Team of the Week, significantly, alongside superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo.

According to Soccer24, Musona was in fine form last week, registering an assist and also scoring in Al Tai's 2-2 draw against Al Adalah. This was his sixth assist of the season, as well as his fourth goal scored.

Barca suffers Lewandowski blow

Barcelona’s chances of winning this season’s Copa del Rey could be in shambles after the club announced an injury to top forward, Robert Lewandowski.

Lewandowski picked up a strain on his left hamstring in Barcelona’s surprise 1-0 loss to Almeria in La Liga on Sunday, February 26, and could be ruled out of action for a while.

According to Barca Universal, the 34-year-old forward is not expected to be fit enough for Barcelona’s upcoming Copa del Rey semi-final first leg against Real Madrid.
