Knowledge Musona has reportedly apologised to Scotland FC coach Norman Mapeza after tensions between the pair escalated.
The apology reportedly came before Scotland’s biggest game, according to journalist Makomborero Mutimukulu.
Mutimukulu revealed the development in a Facebook post, detailing an emotional moment involving the veteran forward.
Musona feels the pain before Scotland’s biggest game
According to Mutimukulu, Musona watched teammates prepare for the crucial match while he remained out of the lineup.
The journalist suggested that Musona was deeply affected by his absence from Scotland’s biggest game.
Musona joined Scotland because of his experience in navigating high-pressure matches.
However, Mutimukulu claimed the official explanation of an injury did not tell the complete story.
He alleged that Musona was dealing with a bruised ego rather than a physical injury.
The situation reportedly followed Musona’s reaction after being substituted against FC Platinum.
Mutimukulu said Musona had not apologised after that incident, creating further tension with Mapeza.
The situation reportedly became more complicated after Wicknell Chivayo publicly rebuked Mapeza.
Consequently, Mapeza reportedly remained firm on his decision regarding the experienced attacker.

However, Musona apparently decided to address the situation before the important match.
According to Mutimukulu, the forward sought a private conversation with Mapeza at the National Sports Stadium.
Mapeza reportedly asked former Zimbabwe captain Peter Ndlovu to join their conversation.
Musona then offered what appeared to be a heartfelt apology to his coach.
“Sorry mudhara….,” Musona reportedly told Mapeza during the emotional exchange.
The two men subsequently hugged, suggesting that they had put their differences aside.
Nevertheless, questions remain over whether the apology will restore Musona to Mapeza’s plans.
His experience remains valuable, particularly during matches requiring composure and leadership.
However, Mapeza’s decision will ultimately determine whether Musona returns to Scotland’s matchday squad.
For now, the reported apology could represent an important step towards repairing their relationship.
As Mutimukulu concluded, the apology happened, but time will reveal its consequences.
