On this week’s show we look at the diaspora effect in African football. With the movement of Africans all across the world, we have many footballers with African roots living in Europe and elsewhere around the world. They can potentially strengthen the national teams of the countries where they have their roots. Nine newcomers from the diaspora were included in the Zimbabwe squad for the recent Under-23 qualifiers, including Matifadza Zata, who grew up in Scotland. Plus plenty on the EPL, where the battle for the title and the top four places continues, as Manchester United dropped vital points against Wolves.
