In a separate, interview, Coach for Hammers Etson Kadenge said his side being newcomers will respect Warriors.

“But we will play to give good results to our supporters. Yes, we have some injuries but that’s not an excuse because we signed enough player,” said Kadenge.

The game will be played behind closed doors as the government has restricted gatherings to 100 participants.
