Zim players "missing" in UK

LINK

Eight Zimbabwean soccer players and two officials have failed to return to Zimbabwe after a trip to Britain, the state-run Herald newspaper reported on Saturday, with football insiders saying the men may have stayed behind to flee economical and political hardships in their own country....

One Zimbabwean soccer player who did not want to be named said it was "a bit early" to say exactly why the players remained put but that "some players went to Britain and then start to think what exactly it is that they are going back to in Zimbabwe." Zimbabwe has in recent years seen at least four leading soccer players leave the crisis-hit country for Britain in the face of severe criticism from local authorities.
