Ghana's next opponents in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers Zimbabwe will be without star man Khama Billiat when the two teams clash at the Cape Coast Stadium on October 9, 2021.

Billiat has been suspended for the clash in Ghana as he has picked up two yellow cards in the two games against South Africa and Ethiopia but will be eligible for the return leg in Harare on October 12.

The Warriors were held to a disappointing goalless home draw by Bafana Bafana, in their first group match before they slumped to a shock 0-1 defeat at the hands of Ethiopia in their next match.

They find themselves bottom of their group with just a single point from their opening two matches but without a goal to show for their shift over 180 minutes of action.

Billiat has been one of the team's leading players, since he broke into the Warriors, and was the hero when his two goals powered them to a 2-1 victory over Zambia, in Lusaka, in a 2021 AFCON qualifier.

However, he has been struggling to regain his form as he eases back into his rhythm after a lengthy period on the sidelines, in which he has battled a succession of injuries.
