Hamilton Accies star David Moyo called up for Zimbabwe and striker will now miss crucial Championship clash

Hamilton Accies striker David Moyo has been called up to the Zimbabwe squad for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

The Warriors travel to South Africa on Thursday, November 11 before hosting Ethiopia in their final group match on November Sunday, November 14. Zimbabwe are currently bottom of their qualifying group.

But Moyo's call-up means he will miss Hamilton's Championship clash at home to Raith Rovers on November 13, providing a selection headache for boss Stuart Taylor, who has started three of the club's last four matches.

The 26-year-old has made 14 appearances for Accies this season and netted his only goal of the season so far in their 6-1 defeat to Partick Thistle in the league last month.

Moyo also has his sights set on playing for his country for the Africa Cup of Nations in January, where they will feature in a group alongside Senegal, Malawi and Guinea.

Earlier this month he told Lanarkshire Live Sport : "Of course the Africa Cup of Nations is a target.

"Everyone wants to represent their country.

"But I just want to score some goals right now and get climbing the table [with Hamilton]."
