Celtic prospect Kundai Benyu is in line to play for Zimbabwe at under 23 level.
Celtic youngster Kundai Benyu has been a forgotten figure since signing for the club in 2017 from Ipswich Town.
He has made only first team appearances for the Celtic, and none this season.
Now he is in line to finally play a couple of meaningful games, after toiling for the club’s under-20 side.
All Africa report Benyu has been made available to feature for Zimbabwe’s under-23 team next month.
Zimbabwe have a two legged qualifier against Mozambique, with the winner landing a place in November’s under-23 African Nations Cup.
Benyu, 21, has a chance to play at the tournament, which will be important for his development.
He has two senior caps for Zimbabwe, but both came in 2017.
Zimbabwe will name their squad for the March fixtures in the coming weeks.
The two legged qualifier at least gives Benyu something meaningful to work towards, and could work to give his confidence a boost.
The youngster is under contract at Celtic until 2021.
