Under-23 bank on Nato's influence

Coach Daniel 'Chicco' Nare said he is keen on fielding Nato who has been influential for the senior side in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

The Young Zebras host the North Africans at the New Lobatse Stadium hoping to overturn the 2-0 loss they suffered in the first leg in Cairo. Nare is confident that Nato could help the team overcome the deficit. The holding midfielder joined the Young Zebras' camp on Monday night as they stepped up preparations ahead of the crucial tie against the Young Pharaohs. Nato was part of the gallant Zebras' side that earned the country its first Africa Cup of Nations berth a fortnight ago with a 1-0 victory against Chad in N'Djamena.
