Zimbabwe will have to do without Khama Billiat when they play Ghana on October 9 at the Cape Coast Stadium in the World Cup qualifier.
Billiat is ineligible to feature due to suspension. He accrued 2 yellow cards in the matches against South Africa and Ethiopia early this month.
He is not the only player who will miss the clash as France-based striker Tino Kadewere has also been ruled out of the qualifier due to injury.
Kadewere has been sidelined with a thigh injury that has seen him miss the last four matches for his French Ligue 1 side Olympique Lyon.
Zimbabwe has also named the England-based quartet of Marvelous Nakamba, Brendan Galloway and Jordan Zemura despite the uncertainty surrounding their availability for both matches.
