Zebras' midfield grafter, Ofentse 'Size 10' Nato has been ruled out of Sunday's Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Malawi due to a knee injury picked during the last game of the domestic league.

National team coach, Stanley Tshosane has said the Gaborone United (GU) linkman is not fit enough to play the Flames at the New Lobatse Sports Complex. Nato got injured during GU's Premier League game against Notwane a fortnight ago.

The injury forced him out of the friendly international between the Zebras and Swaziland's Isihlangu that ended in a goalless draw last Wednesday.  "I would have wanted to have all the players because this game is as equally important to us as the other qualifiers and we want to win it. Sadly, we won't have Size 10 (Nato) on Sunday because he has a knee injury that he picked up during their (GU) league game against Notwane.
