The Zebras’ interim coach Mogomotsi ‘Teenage’ Mpote faces a strikers’ crisis ahead of the AFCON qualifiers tie against Angola, which is scheduled for next Friday at the Francistown Sports Complex.

Speaking at a press briefing at the Lekidi Football Centre yesterday, where he named the latest Zebras squad, Mpote admitted that he is facing striker problem hence had to turn to off-form and unproven attackers in a bid to freshen the squad.

The coach has, however opted for out-of-form duo of Omaatla Kebatho and Onkabetse Makgantai, while Prisons XI’s Kitso Mpuisang got his first Zebras call up, to add on the striking force that includes Tumisang Orebonye.
