PLYMOUTH Argyle defender Brendan Galloway has admitted it is ‘tough at times’ to balance his club career with international football for Zimbabwe but he is enjoying the different challenges of both.
Galloway is set to be part of the Pilgrims’ squad for the Championship clash with Steven Schumacher’s Stoke City at Home Park tomorrow, and he will then travel to Africa the following day. The 28-year-old has been included in the Zimbabwe squad for their first two 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying games by recently-appointed German-born boss Michael Nees.
The Warriors will play away to Kenya (108) in a week’s time and then host Cameroon on Tuesday, September 10. Due to Kenya and Zimbabwe both not having FIFA-approved stadiums, both matches will be played in Kampala, the capital city of Uganda.
Galloway will then rejoin the Argyle squad ahead of the home Championship fixture against Sunderland on Saturday, September 14, so it promises to be a busy time for him in terms of football but also travelling.
Zimbabwe have another four 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers later this year, two in October and two in November.
Galloway, who has started Argyle’s first three Championship games this season, said: “It gets tough at times. We are travelling to very far countries, adjusting to the heat and you just get no real time to switch off for a second.
